By Lidena Carr.
I go out to walk without you;
Feeling I have lost something.
Misplaced you.
Rambling was our thing;
To the dam wall.
Back and under the bridge.
I walk around the block today;
Like I am walking without a limb,
Like I left you carelessly somewhere.
One foot then the other;
Empty, we’re not plodding along together.
Around the featureless corner and back.
Everyone at home talks of a new dog,
About what breed would be best?
What colour do you like?
But how can you shop for a lover?
How can I find a new you?
I plod on in misery and miss you.
I walk to the river today;
The sun bright in my face
Shining on the bit of you I carry with me;
Good times are on my mind.
The river sparkles like the memories of us.
I get home, full, because you walked with me.
