It's almost each day that I
wonder:
did something happen?

Are they gone?  Am I alone?

It's almost each day that I
wonder:
who will go first?

Would you date? Could I live?

It's almost each day that I
wonder:
Am I closer than I know?

This week? Next year?

But it's almost each day
that I:
think of tomorrow, plan
for my retirement, nap
away an afternoon, buy
enough groceries for the
week, tell myself I'll see
them later, forget to say
goodbye- I love you.  

It's almost each day that I
forget so much.
