No Substitute For A Bucket Full Of Love
We love for each other.
We enjoy being with each other.
We need not pursue separate lives.
For we are one.
At last
We’re together.
You and me.
How long did you cry?
How long did I?
A big part of my life you fill.
Though my other pails overflow
This last empty bucket
I saved for you
I carried it around for the last 20 years
Always knowing it was empty
Always wishing it was full
A space devoid of love
Which only you can fill.
There is no substitution
For the love of a beautiful woman.
No writing,
No reading,
No fun outdoors,
No ham radio.
Absolutely none of the things I love to do
Could ever take the place of
Entire weekends with you
