Description
In your absence

my senses reconstruct
our closeness

Your scent lingers
as though the air I breathe
must contain reminders of you.

Beyond the memory of
your presence
last felt

my mind makes me see
shades of you in others
and yet always I am aware of

the mockery in such perception.

Then, as I withdraw back into my
secure shell of loneliness,
self-sufficiency seems to crumble -

the aftermath of that intense intimacy floods my heart with

emptiness

A void within edged by a gentle understanding of sorrow, agony, loss

Aching.

Knowing

that the time and distance
keeping us apart only
grows the yearning -

(this irrepressible sensation
cannot be told
cannot be told)

for

another

touch.
