Absence
I planned to do so many things
with you, for you.
To be your driver, and take you wherever your heart desired;
To walk across the stage, and show you the diploma I earned;
To move to college, and experience the real world you prepared me for;
To walk down the aisle, and have you give me away;
To have children, and love them as you loved me;
To buy you a house for you to grow old;
To take you to a basketball game, so you could watch the Clippers play live;
To take you to see one of your favorite bands live, and watch the magic of music mesmerize you;
I planned to be your person as you were for me.
But God had a different agenda.
