I hardly think of you anymore
Unless I am rushing out the door
And seasonal colours take me by surprise
Like the first time that I saw your eyes.

Thoughts of you no longer flood my days
Except when my face feels the sun's rays
Or it turns cloudy, rains or snows
You made each day grand....I suppose.

Memories now seldom haunt my nights
Only when alone...I turn off the lights
Then that vacant space beside me chills
No longer filled with passion's heat and thrills.

No, my mind's not rattled by your name
Just when I cry and need someone to blame
My life's too full for tea and sympathy
Yet, I have wondered some - Does he think of me?

See I am getting smart, no way could this be "about you" for who in their right mind would never let a gem like you go?  

Congratulations Chris, you are truly an asset to these halls.

Our thoughts of lost loves are triggered by the oddest quirks of a sight or sound or smell.  They reach down into us and twist those heart muscles all over again.  Well done!  Ken

Chris, congradulations on our 10,000th post. This is a beautiful poem. I have wondered the same thing about my husband. It seems I am always thinking of him.

Chris,
   WAY TO GO!  10,000?  I know with your talent you could have written 10,000 poems, but I figure you racked a few of these up by being so supportive to fellow Pipsters!  I really appreciate sharing the Blue pages with you!  CONGRATULATions, Chris!
