I sit in the chair that you sat in
delighted that you were once there
I gaze at the sun's play-pattern
directing my eyes through the glare.
The arms of the chair, they surround me.
I remember the sky of your eyes.
I sit in the chair that you sat in.
I let myself drift in my mind.

The touch of my lips,
first--on your cheek,
and then the sun burst--
surprisingly sweet.
Familiar and old
as ancient's orb greet.
I sit in the chair that you sat in.
I pray for the next time we meet.

Tell me I don't really feel it.
Tell me that it's all a lie.
And still I will sit here beguiling
myself with a memory's eye.

The touch of your lips,
the last on my cheek--
my only regret was
watching you leave...
fingernails trailing
themselves on my knee--
I sit in the chair that you sat in,
pretending that you're still with me.

This deserves to be in an anthology, or, better yet, a full-length book.
