Persistence

Persistence

You are never completely gone.

I still see you in dreams.

This morning I dreamt of you.

It was brief, but you were there.

And just now, from a quick nap

I held your face in my hands

As I slid back and forth

From lucidity to unconcsciousness.

It is remarkable how you look,

You look exactly as you were before

And the texture of your hair,

It feels uncannily like it did before.

So many things have happened since

But you know that I will never forget-

That I can never forget.
