Things We Set out to Do

 

I’m incomplete when you’re away, 

but I feel more than whole when you’re here.

Without you I’m not myself: 

there are snags in the works,

the air is stale, and the days too long.

Without you I stay up late into the night, 

watching movies or reading

books that I don’t enjoy. 

The quality of my work deteriorates. 

My mind wanders to other places,

where it shouldn’t go.

 And when you do return, 

I am distracted by your presence;

I am not myself.
