Thoughts and Things

A Game of Hide and Seek

I am not lost.

Just because I can't be found

does not mean I am lost.

I'm still here

waiting for you

to find me.

It's hide and seek, dear,

and you've got to find me.

I can wait all night.

So please

don't give up so soon.

I can stay here for as long as I want,

and I'll stay hidden until you find me.

It's not so difficult, love,

just follow the sound of my voice.

I'll give you a hint

if it really is so difficult for you:

I'm lying down

in the bed I made

after that night when you gave up on looking for me.

I've been waiting

very patiently

for you to come back

and now

once you find me

we'll be together forever.

It's really not too hard to find,

but it will take some work to get here.

It shouldn't be a problem;

after all,

six feet of dirt

isn't enough to separate

true love.

But

if you're really tired of searching

then I wouldn't mind being the seeker.

I'll count to ten,

and then

I'll come looking for you, dearest.
