Saudade
Smelling the freshly cut grass in the air
Calling on friends for adventures
Running for hours with no thought and no care
Except minds full of innocent intention

Smelling your scent on my pillow each morning
Calling you up for an aimless walk
Running you crazy, resentment starts forming
Your mind was full of 'we need to talk...'

Smelling the leaves burning up with the haze
Calling when I needed a friend
I wish you were with us, instead, I just gaze
Upon the plaque that's engraved with your end.

A.N.: I wrote this for a challenge a while back.
Saudade is an emotional state of melancholic
or profoundly nostalgic longing for a
beloved yet absent something or someone.
Enjoy.
