Poem of the Day:

Fast Forward 4 Years (See You Later)


I was in Tesco,
And I felt an indescribable pang of sadness,
For I had picked up 2 pints of milk and
Upon reading the expiration date,
Realised that I hadn't much time left to see my mates.
The mates I have in London, the ones coming down from Scotland,
The ones just a phone call away,
The ones who thought I was going to stay,
The ones always up for coffee,
The ones who taught me how to cook,
The ones I danced madly with,
The ones I told my secrets to,
Over red wine and cigarettes,
In Black Tie or Fi's Cowboy hat.
The ones I went for walks with,
To Castle Sands,
To skip stones,
As I moaned about the lack
Of female attention.
The ones who stayed up with me,
Till the early hours of the morning drinking whiskey,
Drinking Jack,
Drinking green tea,
Giving me their chat,
Giving me hugs and kisses,
Giving me memories,
That I hold so dear,
If I could I'd tell them each I love them,
And wouldn't change a thing.
I feel a tear,
Well up inside my right eye.
It's so hard to say,
To say goodbye.
