To her it is amazing

How strange things

Could bring b a c k  the memories

Of times long since p a s t

Little things he liked to do

She never noticed

His dimples

Or the way he laughed

When he stood beside

Her but when he left

The memories

F L O O D E D

Like someone had let loose the hatcH

She never noticed his blond hair

Flecks of sunshine caught in the net of each strand

Or the way he said her name

Sweet like honey dripping into her yearning ears

But when his heart was

Just a tiny whisper away

She would blink

Eyes held fast wishing for a memory to return

She was haunted by the ghost of a stranger

Knowing that the love she once grasped

Was now M I L E S away

S T R E T C H E D

halfway around the world

So far a single wish could not cross

If only she could send a lonely thought his way

But her heart stung with each mile

As he P U R S U E D a life

She knew no longer included her

And the world just winked

Knowing soon the miles would equal

Years

And soon his name would be all but

A sting to her happy forgetful ears
