Another

Thank you for the positive feedback on my poem! All along this trip, writing has become an emotional release for both of us. This one I wrote last August, on a day I was really missing Finder.


Sometimes you seem so close,
I wonder how you can be so out of reach.
Suddenly I'm there. I see you, I reach for you.
My arms ache.
Reality comes back and you are only a memory.
Has it been so long? or so short?
I think of you. Your smile, your laugh,
the way you feel.
Never again is not a concept my heart understands.
You live on, unaware.
Did I touch you? Are you different
because of me?
Together a short time, my heart is yours.
Small hands hold much.
Life goes on. Someone else loves you.
Do they know? Will they see?
My heart soars and crashes,
broken again and again.
I move forward, not knowing my direction.
You will never know me,
but I will know you forever.
