Cool winds blew
ripples
across our lake today.
It'd been a long time
since I ventured up this way,
it's so different
when you're alone.
It was rather eerie,
there wasn't a single sound,
I really wished you
had been around,
your sweet voice
held warmth.
Last time you were here,
I remembered you
wearing camo,
that pink baseball cap
pulled tightly over your ears,
you maneuvered the boat
like a pro,
didn't scare
a single duck.
I didn't know you'd
never be here again,
just my rotten luck.
