I've been meaning to tell you...

I've been meaning to tell you I found the pears from October, they were deep in the freezer
I made them into a puree with cinnamon and honey
They were delicious

I've been meaning to tell you I cooked dinner and left it in the oven
You came home late and tired again
It was wasted

I've been meaning to tell you I used all the leftovers from the fridge
It's empty now
Vide

I've been meaning to tell you I forgot to do the shopping
Hoping you might remember to pick up some bread
Did you?

I've been meaning to tell you about my day
I wanted to know about yours
Was it good?

I've been meaning to tell you this and plenty more
But the day swallowed me up and
I was absent when you came home
