Have I Missed Something?

I walk this little corner of land
And pretend I'm in another country
Because, you see, I've only stepped
Across the river into Mexico
For a short time
And drove a bit of Canada
One long night

I've never walked
Rod's sandy beaches
Nor sailed his oceans

I've not had as many loves
nor
Loved as many lovers as he

I was content with my one love
I only wish he were h ere now.

Your poem is very sweet and speaks well to how one's love rarely is replacable. Good to see you writing again.
