After you left, I came to understand,
That you were the one I craved beyond touch, beyond desire.
It was your warmth, the comfort of holding you tight,
Falling asleep in that embrace, finding peace in the night,
To look at you endlessly, until my heart overflowed,
And still, to gaze more, wanting never to let go,
To love you so fiercely that, even as years pass by,
Your memories cling to my soul, refusing to die.
