Like you were never gone...

The tall glass of white wine,

Standing in my eyes,

The cafe, your favourite in town,

The bus stop, the walk,

The midnight pavement talk.

It’s for real.

But I look into those eyes and become

One with your dreams,

Standing on the boundary

Of truth and illusion.

The moment melts away in the darkness

Of the long night,

Fades away in shadows

Growing longer by the day.

A blur now, the memory finds

A home in the alleys of my mind.

When I close my eyes

You come back to me

Like you were never gone.
