I watched you from our old park bench, eclipsing the swans grace.
They dipped their heads to the water as if bowing to your beauty.
The evening sunlight chased you as you laughed, dancing on the grass.
The source of all life also wanting to be with you, to touch lightly on your skin.
You turned and smiled with every part of your body, and I grew to love you that little bit more.
I rested my hand on the book you had been reading, a book I could not bring myself to read in all these years.
I heard your voice again as it glided over the rippling water.
Then, it was gone and  the sun retreated, the swans drifted away.
Again alone, I lifted your book and let a tear fall before saying goodbye.
I will see you again someday, someday
