What am I if not a man with a heart that is weighed down with the absence of you?
I know nothing else.
What am but the man who was too tall to walk down the aisle with you?
If only I were someone else.
Your sweetest smell,
Your lingering light on hair that you stroked and caressed with henna,
Now,
You are a stranger,
Gone.
What am I but the man that won’t let go of long lost you?
I am no one else.
