Thinking of you
As all sit for dinner
I miss you terribly
Wish you were here
Waiting to go home
I wonder to myself
Is he thinking of me
Does he miss me
Sadly I wander aimlessly
With you on my mind
Missing you so badly
Tears stream down my face
While I lay on the bed
Trying to sleep
I hug my teddy bear close
And ignore all others
Restlessly I try to sleep
But with no such luck
Deep in the corners of my mind
I ask myself
Is he sleeping
Might he be dreaming of me
Quietly I lay there
Thinking of you
Through the night
Unable to sleep
I cry silently
To myself once more
Why so sad? 😦

This was during a time of my teen years, it was from my first real serious relationship I had ever had. The reason behind it was he always ate his meals alone unless it was at school.

Aww that makes it even more sad
I remember there were a few people like that at school. I never really went out of my way to help them but I never did anything unless I happened to be there

I tried to invite him to dinner often, but he always said no because his family didn’t want him eating with “strangers” even though they knew me. It made me angry and sad.

Seems like there’s deeper issues at play there.
It’s sad being unable to do anything

I couldn’t help relating this poem to how I feel about the “loss” of my sister for so many years…except I have an elephant not a teddy bear..and thank goodness we have since reconnected. Lovely, touching, relatable and sad. thanks for sharing Shay.

I am glad you were able to reconnect with your sister, it makes me so happy. I am sorry that it is sad, but maybe that is why it is so easily relatable.
