This Thing That Was Us

Tho not physical;
on a different plain,
felt the same.

I'll cherish till
I turn to dust,
this thing that was us.


Inspired by the movie, "Her"

I adored that movie, and it was so sad when "she" started dating around. Alas, all good things must often come to an end. Awesome short poem on the topic.
