Pieces of You

even though you've slipped away stranger, you're not quite gone I hold tight pieces of you in my mind you're tough to forget could it be your kindness? great sense of humor? or because you brightened up... my rather dark day?

Edward, a wonderful form and your poem is so beautifully sad, I love it, perhaps I could use this form when I get to Y Forms in my contests, let me know if that would be okay and I have sent you a soupmail, blessings Constance
