I woke up and you were on my mind,

Thinking of the way that it used to be;

All this time, how could I be so blind

From the things that bothered me?

Breakfast was served but I couldn't eat,

I thought, "maybe you've run along with Pete"

Mom said, "Oh, look! Here comes your friend Nate!

Better hurry, or you'll both be late"

At school, I went directly to my locker,

I tried but I just could not find you.

Varied books and notes were still in order,

You're lost! I was beginning to think that it's true.

My day went as badly as I thought it would be,

But nobody else was to be blamed, except for me.

 I got low scores on all of my majors

This is not fun anymore, this is torture!

Yesterday, you were still within my grasp.

I'm longing for you now, I need to find you fast.

I'm lost for words and it makes me weary

I'm desperate! Where are you, my dictionary?!

Note: This was originally entitled as "Elegy for something special". I wrote this when my THESAURUS  had gone missing two days after it was bought. However, the poem stated DICTIONARY. hehehehe... But i found it after a week. A girl returned it to me. I seem to have left it in the classroom.
