Do You ....?

I wonder if you still see me
and when you don't if the aches sets in

does a space exist where I once did
that cannot right now be filled
that just is
and that you have to just be with
and are you with it

When I move past your line of vision
do you hear an echo of what was
a yearning for what could have been
and the pain of now what is not
when you stare at the blue of my eyes
of what do you think
what stirs you within

does your chest tighten
and do you notice
that your breathing shallows
and that your heart is sad
with missing
with sadness
with disapointment

did you love
like never before
and do you push that knowing
that reality away
as you've said you do
when the emotions set in
or just this once
could you stop and turn
and face
the love that perhaps you felt
one you possibly have never felt before
does this love still linger
with nowhere to go
and how
pray tell
do you let it and you be
side-by-side
moment-by-moment

do you still love as deeply
and wonder "where to from here"
?



do you struggle
