What You Can't See

The reservoir of life grows with time, the drought years and the floods. The water level you see now does not tell the whole story, the ups and the downs. You can read the rings of trees that drink the same water and still never understand what it took to get here. I miss you mostly all the time. I think I made a big mistake to let you go because I'm getting lonely by the day. Days are passing faster ever since you've gone away.
