We are still breathing each other
Still sensing and knowing what the other is feeling
Still connected at the heart and mind
Clumsily reaching for the other’s hand
Knowing full well they are not there
Rolling over for a warm embrace in the middle of the night
Only to find a cold empty pillow

I do not cling to our memories in desperation
I keep them neatly folded away
And pull them out when I need to smile
They help me keep my faith
That soon we will have more wonderful adventures
