No other physical person present for me to be alone with. No one there when I might want to reach out to share a laugh or tear.

For we knew that you were leaving this earthly plane. With empty eyes and forgetfulness, you often didn't know me. The love we shared often an unknown. Now your gone and my heart aches to kiss your lips once more.
