It's Valentine’s Day
This is the card I cannot give
I would have asked, but cannot
I would have said, but did not
You’re the most beautiful woman:
girlish laugh, the warmth of your hands,
the sound of your voice, the curve of your cheek
But I do not
Have never thought it
Meeting
wholly immersed for an hour
lost in a reverie of our present and
of our past. I cherish our chats
You permeate my life
But you don’t know this
I'm absent
it’s all the presence I need
I am not here
You will not read this
I did not write this
‘Little-by-little, my cart rolls on'
