Sad Face

My face is sad without your joy,
My soul begins to lull.
My heart is cold without your warmth,
My days are long and dull.

Although I fill the time with tasks
And things I ought to do.
I’d rather trade away that time
For time to spend with you.

Don’t stay away from me too long.
Your absence makes me sad.
So return to me as quickly as you can,
Your presence makes me glad.
