7 months plus two more
Leaves me standing alone on this shore
Eighteen long walks without your voice
Yet my head is still chaos of noise
Twenty-seven times I have sat
With no shared soda to make us fat
Thirty-six boat rides with no windblown hair
Forty-five nights that just don't care
Fifty-four letters written with no reply
Sixty-three shouts at the sky
Seventy-two cuts on my skin
Eighty-one thoughts that make my head spin
Ninety times we looked like fools
Singing along to 99 Red Balloons
One hundred eight dreams I have had
One hundred seventeen times told not to be sad
One hundred twenty-six turns of my head
One hundred thirty-five cold, lonely beds
One hundred forty-four plays of that song
One hundred unanswered phone calls
One hundred sixty-two unsupported falls
One hundred seventy-one drinks I have had
One hundred eighty turnarounds have left me mad
Two hundred seventy days without you here
Nine months you have left me in fear.
