I was twenty four then.
I still remember it after
all this passing time.
Mornings are the worst.
At night I hold the down pillow
closely into my body
It has your fragrance on it.
It feels soft like you did in sleep.
I know
I can never feel your soft hair
drifting over my bare chest.
Or
Your leg finding mine in bed
sort of accidentally.
I wonder if you still
sing show tunes
in the shower.
The smashed photo frame
of us in love tells me for sure
your not coming back.
But I can't seem
to throw it out.
Sometimes the moon
shines its bloom into my bedroom.
I know it can see you sleeping
and maybe
It's just trying to tell me
that you are alright.
