ASHLEY


The day isn't complete
Until I've thought of you.
It's late in the morning
And I know nothing of you,
Nor you of me.

Someday we'll meet,
I'll cry and laugh,
Then I'll tell you of the brief
Time when we met.
You were all of two,
Crying for your Mother.

Lost are these years apart,
I can't go back.
Yes, despite my absence,
I love you.
The day isn't complete
Until I've thought of you.
