Each day.
All I see—
a shadow.
For me,
you left
long ago.
Each day,
we share
the same space,
but there is no
trace
of you—
the person
I once knew.
Each day,
I long to
look deep
into your eyes.
But I know
all I will ever see
is black—
my reflection
staring back.
You don’t laugh anymore.
Well,
not like you did before.
