But I don't have you.

My space

   Filled with all I should ever need. A bed, blankets; clothes and shoes everywhere, a window to see the world outside. For Gods sake I even have my own bathroom!

 

But I don't have you.

 

My gadgets

   Smartphone, computers, TV, Blue Ray, cable, gaming system, ..... Got plenty of gadgets. Mechanical, impersonal, cold. Jeeze, I spend a lot of time with them.

 

But I don't have you.

 

My time

   I'm free to do most anything I want. No job, yet I have money. No car, yet I can still get around. Responsibilities few. Why am I wasting so much time? Oh the potential!

 

But I don't have you

 

My friends

   One good friend. We can talk, listen, understand, support, trust one another. Others are around, not close though. Not the same. What do I do for them? Sadly, not much really.

 

But I don't have you

 

My family

   I've got parents. They support me, annoy me. They care and love me. Pets too. All around. It's..... good. Am I grateful?

 

I have all of this around me, and more

But I don't have you
