You think I'm okay?

How can you wish me well?

How could you not think of

How I might react or feel?

But here I am standing

And I probably smile

I have to stay happy

For a longer while.

Today I'm surrounded

By every person close

They are all here except

For the one I love most.

I blow out a candle

I wish away my tear

Hopes are impossible

You are there and not here.
