Today, I Guess

Today, I Guess

I stood in the shower ’til the water turned cold
Felt like a tough day was about to unfold
On the edge of the bed, I sighed and got dressed
I'm going to really miss someone today, I guess
The pot of coffee I made was a little too strong
I lost count of the scoops and perked it too long
Like a wet, heavy blanket you can't throw aside
The last page of our fairytale story book lied
The bill must've arrived for past sins I must pay
I guess I just really miss someone today

Picked up the newspaper again and again
I’m seeing the words but I don't comprehend
All my thoughts and my focus just seem to digress
I just really miss someone today, I guess
The sun may be shining but my skies are gray
I want the hot sun to burn these thick clouds away
Like eyes on a portrait, I'm staring so far away
I guess I just really miss someone today

The unscathed proclaim that time heals all wounds
Still I’m haunted by visions from that warm afternoon
Perhaps more time is needed, but nevertheless
i just really miss someone today, I guess
It seems my ship’s docked in Melancholy Bay
I guess I just really miss someone today

My spirits always pick up upon her arrival
Her loving smile is essential for my soul’s survival
Before falling asleep I whisper, “honey I had a bad day“
She says “I know you did darling, I had one yesterday”
We get up every morning with great loss to address
That's what happens when you really miss someone, I guess
The sun may be shining but my skies are gray
I guess I just really miss someone today
