You are still on top
In the list of my "recent
-searches" my darling

And so I read
And re-read

And re-read the lines
That my eyes have gone through
In search of meaning

In search for the words
Lying by the in betweens
That may not be there at all, my love

But I am running out of guesses.
And I'm still guessing if I am fine.

The warmth of your smile
Is escaping my memory
Like cigarette smoke
I exhaled too quickly

And I desperately try
To breathe it back into my life

But darling,
You have already floated away
