In your absence, I break into fragments
More fragile than a porcelain figurine
I shatter from the impact of emotions
And so become a hand you held
The shirt I wore when you last touched me
The lips you kissed, the mouth you probed
Breathing life into me with your warmth
In your absence, I dissipate into the air
Lighter than any cloud, my thoughts
Float freely, detached from any anchor
They seek to reach you somewhere
Anywhere I may behold you again
In our past, in the present you travel
Without me, in the distant future
That I cannot fathom in your absence.
