It’s been years.
I don’t think about the pain as much.
It doesn’t affect me that much.

But once in a while,
when I’m alone
walking down the same lanes.
when the breeze is soft,
the sky is clear.
When I’m surrounded by strangers,
I still feel you hand holding mine.
And for a moment
just a moment
I feel you in my heart.
And I smile
loving the ache in my heart.
And I whisper,”I love you “
And walk away
again drowning the the busy life.
