On My Mind III

You are on my mind

Partly b/c there was so much left unspoken

And b/c I keep thinking of how happy you will be to be home

It's hard to be left behind, discarded, forgotten

I took down our pictures, took off the bracelet, and grieved

I feel bad for myself a little but mostly feel grateful

People have been wonderful but they aren't you

Part of me wants you to miss me

But I know you had 2 weeks to say goodbye before you said the words

I should have kissed you goodbye

I should have let you say what you wanted to say

I know you are so happy at the ranch where you belong

And that's why you are on my mind
