Beyond Your Leaving

"I only know we loved in vain;

I only feel Farewell! Farewell!"

*Byron*

A time for reflection

as I lie here in the space you left behind,

feeling more a woman

than I ever have before.

Traces of your warmth spread over me

and whispered words echo...

all the words you never said...

those I couldn't say...

lost among the patterns

painted by some unknown hand.

A time for reflection...

lying in the glow you left behind.

Holding tight to all I know of you...

A time for reflection

in this blue time beyond your leaving...

a time to dream of hours lost forever...

a time to gather thoughts...

In the letdown time beyond your leaving

I say the words I whisper silently

while you are here...

I love you
