Mexico

She is going to leave for a while to Mexico, things just wont be the same.

So I just found out, that on Saturday,

You will be driving to Mexico that day.

I remember the last time you went away,

My heart broke every single day.

Not hearing your laugh, or seeing your smile,

That seriously killed me for a while.

I understand why left, why you had to go,

You did it for family, I shouldn’t be selfish, I know.

I couldn’t help it, you weren’t around It just wasn’t the same,

Days felt longer, filled with an emptiness, I can't explain.

I’ve been without you before, but this time was different,

We were closer now, our bond to everyone was apparent.

I imagine I drove everyone crazy, with me missing you,

I just felt off, I didn’t know what else to do.

I longed for when I would hear from you,

Be it a text or email, it would just pull me through.

Seeing your name in my inbox, just made my day,

That little paragraph of words made the distance fade away.

It was like you were there, even though you weren’t,

Such a simple gesture but I tell you now, it worked.

The elation I felt after talking to you is hard to describe,

Everyone around could sense a new more positive vibe.

And now you are going back to Mexico,

I admit, I really don’t want you to go.

But I know you must, it’s family first of course,

Am I the worst for feeling this way, should I have remorse?

This place takes you away, takes away your laugh, takes away your smile,

I remember thinking of getting a passport and visiting for a while.

That was in my crazy desperation, my desire to see or hear you,

I wasn’t thinking clearly, but that happens when I think about you.

Now you go for a short time, two weeks I believe,

Oh Mexico why do you make her leave?

This isn’t a Disney movie, so I won’t tear up, 

but, Hakuna Matata, a motto to help me buck up.

It means no worries for the rest of my days,

You are a flower with beautiful petals, let me count the ways,

You inspire, push, and drive me to be the best.

Others try but you are better than the rest.

I know it is really a short time for you to go, 

But I will miss you, while you are in Mexico.

It surely sucks when a loved one leaves for any period of time... The good news is it makes the home coming that more special... excellent flow and rythm as Ive come to expect with all your pieces, and yet another enjoyable read my friend.

It really does suck, but when I see her again everything feels better. Thank you for the review!

I know not how to rhyme
But I do know what I like
And your piece says it all
For you man, got it all.
