Today’s poem is an extremely personal one, and hence was also the easiest to write as soon as I saw the prompt and what it demanded. If you’ve been following my work for a while now, you’d also know that I’m a very ‘write-what-you-know’ sort of a person, who occasionally dabbles in fiction. So this is pretty much the kind of writing that comes naturally to me.
Today’s prompt via napowrimo.net is to write a postcard poem titled ‘Wish You Were Here’ (yep, they even gave us the title for the poem today!). It’s simple: pick a place, write a postcard to someone, and that’s pretty much it! This one memory from last February holds a very dear place in my heart, so it is naturally the one I picked to write about.
It’s a shorter poem than I am used to writing, but it really is one I wrote just for myself, rather than it being about something deeper and profound
Without further ado, here’s the poem for today!
Happy reading. Xx

My dearest love, I hope you’re well.
Once again, I am here lost in memories of us, of hands held and loving firsts. I miss your company more than I can ever tell.
All the same, I hold them dear. I stroll down to this moment to cherish the pieces you left me to hold. And although there are far too many things I wish had been told, I dearly, achingly wish you were here.
All my love,
Someone who once was yours and will forever be.
