    love's memory in a cup

    here i am by the window,
    cold coffee cup in hand,
    deep in thought about you
    in that faraway land.

    has it really been twenty years
    of longing, emptiness, fears?

    how i miss you guessing my thoughts
    on love's forgotten meanings.
    i miss you missing my thoughts
    on life's endless could have beens.

    now i stare outside the window,
    but instead of you cradling me,
    my hands are wrapped around a coffee cup -
    i'm sipping love's memory.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
