phyllis

I loved your smile.
wide, arcing
my world safe;
with a life i won't forget..
took for granted
the bond we had,
think I'll not find its like again
in anyone..
closeness natural as breathing,
this belonging, I learn, is rare..
You were the habit
i never questioned...
still point in a
whirring world.
I look for you everywhere, in everyone..
and while i cope..
there are no words..
this missing you.
