He left before I had time

 Do I miss the child whose shadow 

     bobbed 14 years in mine ? 


Who drew me flowers

     and named me Queen?


Do I wish he didn’t own opinions 

     I cannot understand?


Do I fret to name the turning point?


Was it when he said

    I don't care what you think?


When my heart leapt from the floor 

   like my dog at my step at the door?


Did the ties that bound us fray 

     moment by moment?


Or did all that bloomed 

     just suddenly die?


Did my boy leave before I knew?

     Before I had time to say I love you, goodbye?
