But You Just Didn't

Contributed by Val on Tuesday, 10th December 2002 @ 04:00:00 AM in AEST
Topic: Grief



I looked at you and smiled the other day,
I thought you'd see me but you didn't.
I said "I love you" and waited for what you'd say,
I thought you'd hear me but you didn't.
I asked you to come outside and play ball with me,
I thought you'd follow me but you didn't.
I drew a picture just for you to see,
I thought you'd save it but you didn't.
I made a fort for us back in the woods,
I thought you'd camp with me, but you didn't.
I found some worms n' such for fishing if we could,
I thought you'd want to go but you didn't.
I needed you just to talk to, my thoughts to share,
I thought you'd want to but you didn't.
I told you about the game, hoping you'd be there,
I thought you'd surely come but you didn't.
I asked you to share your youth with me,
I thought you'd want to but you couldn't.
My country called me to war, you asked me
to come home safely,
But I didn't.
