I search
In daylight
In the night
In crowds of faces
In the rain
In snow
In the country
In the city
Here
And there
In story
In song
And in legend…
For in my dreams
you no longer come,
As I’ve lost
too much of myself
meeting you there
And memory has fossilized,
been reimagined
in different shapes and color
And yet the same ache returns
Knowing what I’ve known
And may never experience again
But having known it
I still feel the warmth that comes
from having felt love
That lingering feeling
is what makes it
nearly impossible
to let go
entirely
And so without intention
My heart seeks
And unexpectedly
reminds endlessly,
of you
