why ! oh why
the Sun moves so fast
runs on the sky
before I could face myself to the reality
before I could ask him why ?


of course I don't miss you
but
why then I dread going back
to the lonely house
that used to be a home
when you were there
when the rooms were not rooms
but streets for you to roam


of course I don't miss you
but the stillness of noon
merges into the dusk
and the darkness settles down
but why should it unsettle me
Why !oh  why

but I can feel your smile
glowing up my day
and I can wink
at the mischievous sunny noon
as I walk long whistling and
humming to myself

of course I don't miss you

Oh ! my Doll
How I miss you
