Think of you

Though we are not together

I think of you

Always you live in my heart

But for some reason

Often I choose distance

And sometimes I do wonder

If we ever really see another person clearly

Cleansed of our own particular filters and spin

On their ‘reality’

I may not figure in your world at all

And that is okay

Maybe I will never hug you

Or feel the softness of your cheek on mine

But yet in my mind and in my heart

There you live

Forever young

Forever alive

Forever full of joy and dancing
