that you left me

that you left me



i was afraid
time will erase
your memories

your smiles

and i am
getting old

so today
i will just
write

some words

i cannot
send you
a card
like before

or take your
hands in mine

and point to
the stars
in the sky

take this as
a poem

for you

and if you
have read it
you will smile

and would
have cried.

I like to think she did read, and smiled, maybe through tears. Beautiful, Lee San. How lovely to be remembered with love down all the years.

The sadness of our hearts when a lost love creeps into our memories.

This is so sweetly sensitive. Nice to imagine the receiver of a poem that essentially says, "I miss you."
