Just No Longer There
told himself a little love won't hurt,
but he found out it can hurt like hell;
felt they were together just a few days,
but seemed now like a lifetime as well;
needed her at his breakfast table
just as she needed him, too, at hers;
but they had to live on opposite sides
of the globe, kept far apart by the years;
at times they couldn't get enough
of each other; other times, just a bit
seemed uncomfortably too much;
something precious, they had lost it.
