when you reach for me
in the cold darkness of midnight
and find me long gone

what do you say?
have you even noticed
that I went away?

there was a full moon glowing
over your shoulder that last night
but you did not see or feel it

and when you reach for me
in the middle of a cold dark night,
what is it you miss?

sorry that you relate
but the longer we live
the more often we relate
to such things
or so
it seems

no, its ok . . . just reminded me of the night I left when I was married.

You wrote it, perfectly.   And yes, *nodding here* exactly ---> the more you live, the more you experience.

I think you write of a situation that many have experienced.  It's not a happy one and sometimes questions remain unanswered but "time moves us to the shore of all we're destined for".
May you have a lovely festive season.

I have left and been left so I have a good idea what is missed and what isn't..

You speak the questions well Kacy.

in times as such Kacy, I remember the scar of flames gone wild, and that sea of unfamilar fingers mocking me, and it snaps me right out of the pain of loss...knowing...
I'm much better off the way things are...
and quit relieved, to boot.

Hugs to you
