Poetry : When you're not here

This is a poem I wrote somewhere in 2001 for a guy I used to date hang out with (never were boyfriend-girlfriend). He was accepted to continue his studies outside KL (I don’t remember where). He’s happily married now and we parted in good terms (you know who you are, but then again I don’t expect him to read this).

When You’re Not Here 
By IdaXu Rais

I hate the beautiful enchanting moonlight

because you’re not here

to watch it with me

I loathe the sweet cold breeze

because you’re not here

to wrap your arms around me

I despise the soft verdant grass

because you’re not here

to lay beside me

And I’m sick of those harmonic night crickets

because you’re not here

to chase them with me

but I praised The Creator

Allah the Al-Mighty

because He made our path crossed

for you and me…

miss you when you’re not here
