Connected I lay alone and I can still feel the echo of his heart beat so close is our joining my breath is his in repeat I memorized the very smell of his skin and the texture of his touch uniquely finger painting a life’s canvas as such his lips have pressed mine a million times feeling just like the first knows the worst and best parts of me the passion that burns and quenches my thirst separate are our bodies yet our souls are but one stringing together our hearts never to be undone "Pour yourself thick, when it is you, that you spread."

This was a tough one to pick a favorite part, but I did... "our souls are but one stringing together our hearts never to be undone" Absolutely exquisite work. The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives. |

Helen, This is one of the most touching poems I have ever read. You will always love him. He is the only person that showed you love from the beginning. You've both loved each other and been together a long time. Some things in life we never get over. You have a different kind of love that last forever, something other people know nothing about. It's a gift. Treasure it. |
