Episodes of Love

You left but are not gone;
like an amputation—gone
but still here.
When love is experienced,
it is always.

Lost love is as a raindrop
in a puddle.
An evaporated puddle 
remains water;
and so does its imprint:

Though we can’t often keep 
track of the time,
its footprints remain;
and so it is with episodes
of undying love—gone 
but still here.
