Limbo

A moment ago I was with you,
but that was yesterday,
so long ago,
so before today.

I loved you then . . .
before memory built a vault
in which to store my thoughts . . .
of you.

A place – not quite within my heart,
no longer essential to my soul –

Limbo.

Where I love you . . .

Now.

There were no stars tonight –
every one replaced with the image
of someone I knew –
or used to know,
someone  I loved once.

Forever.

A very touching and heartfelt poem. What an unusual yet refreshing way to say, "I love you." It makes a lot of sense, though. Well-written and poignant.

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.

This is very good. An interesting perspective on where we store our past loves. Like it.

It does seem like just a moment ago, and yet years pass, and we still remember. Do they?
Really enjoyed this.
