Suddenly You

Days pass
[without you in them]
both in presence and in mind—
you are gone.

There is a vacancy in my heart…

I start to smile with the thought
of all the beautiful ways
I can fill it.

 

 

Until one day
[one blissful day without your ghost beside me]

I look up and
Suddenly you
are there.

 

 

Your physical presence
throws me off kilter.

 

 

I am the sieve through which you filter.

 

 

You swim through my veins.
How can a moment so different
feel exactly the same?

It always was and always will be
this way—
Many empty yesterdays
[tomorrows much the same]
but briefly, belatedly,

Suddenly you
were in Today.
