Lonely Showers

December twenty-fourth

It's late at night

The city is buzzing with activity

Bright lights flashing as the city pumps out a cacophony of Christmas cheer

Outside fluffy snow starts to blanket the earth

And here I am taking a shower

I should be out celebrating with family and friends

But how can I go out knowing you won't be there?

You made the holiday season mean something for me

Now it just reminds me you're gone

I really miss you

Especially now

Say, won't you come back?

I stand here lonely in the shower

My tears blended in with the falling water

I try fooling myself

By replacing the warmth of your body

With the hot water

But there really is no replacement

I had you, but I lost you

Please come back

Sincerely,

Me

355 days since you died
