Day 2 Without Rio
Another day has gone. I’m glad that being a nurse has kept me occupied. Yet I still can’t help but miss him every time something or someone reminds me of him. So here goes another poem to sum up my day…

Some people asked me today why I looked so down
They wondered why I always wore a frown
I told them it’s because you have left our town
So you can earn some cash to buy me a wedding gown.
They said “Don’t you worry, he’ll be back pretty soon,
Don’t act like the world has finally met its doom.
He is a good person, a man worthy to be your groom,
So don’t lock yourself up in your tiny, dark room.”
I pondered upon this and realized they were right –
You are fighting for our love, even if you’re out of sight.
I comfort myself with the fact that your love is shining bright,
As I cuddle up in my bed and sleep through another lonely night.
Goodnight.. ![]()
