Now

Now that she is gone 

and now that I admit she’s gone

and recognise she is no longer 

where I once had touched her,

and she touched me,

it will, I know, 

eventually, 

seem for the best.

Eventually.

And there will come a time

when it will seem to me that I was blessed

to once have loved her.

It takes a long time to get to that point, at least for me. I enjoyed this one Red.
