You were here
just for a while.

I can still smell your scent
from the last hug you gave me.

You made December feel
like an eternity,
but maybe for you
it has been just a blink.

I could not watch you walk away
because it would have meant
that your back was the last thing
I could see.

I'd rather remember your smile
because it was the first thing
I fell in love with.
