When You Were Here

It was the chaos.

It was the mess.

It was the muddy football kits.

It was the tv only tuned to sports channels.

It was DVD's, mine yours, lost track.

It was the radio only ever on standby.

It was the empty bottles in the kitchen.

It was the smell of good food.

It was the happiness.

It was the laughs.

It was the memories wrapped in the old.

It was the possibilities in the new.

It was you,

When you were here.
