News just in,
     She's in tight black leggings; material thin==
              balled up like a kitten; she's smitten
              on the floor, in the middle of her bedroom.
   shrouded in darkness.
   candles burning, her mind racing.
    listening to her thoughts --
    bursting into tears --
    sopping with happiness --
    remembering  him, and
    their moments; missing him;
facing time -- their only opponent.
