Smoking a Cigarette

I’m sitting in my room wondering what to write

I thought of you this morning as I missed you last night

I woke up from slumber and poured a cup of coffee

Staring at my cigarette, wishing you were with me

Planning out my day as I usually do

My thoughts were distracted with images of you

Thinking of your smile I can almost hear you laugh

I talk to you in my thoughts as I draw my hot bath

I wonder if you can hear me as my thoughts continue

Your soul, your mind, your feelings- it is all about you

I want to know you better; I want to understand

What makes you who you are; teach me if you can

Whether you know it or not you have my attention

My thoughts encompass you and your affection

I look forward to seeing you whenever I can

This would be easier if I only knew when

I’m sitting in my room wondering what to write

Thinking of you this morning cause I missed you last night

Awake from my slumber with an empty cup of coffee

Putting out my cigarette, wishing you were with me
