Traces of You

Traces of you linger
long after you've gone.
But not long enough
to make me mourn.

The spark on meeting.
That kiss of greeting.
Conversation stimulating.
Your embrace, your taste.

We had such a good time
and agreed to meet.
I looked forward to the treat.
Then my radar lost your bleep.

Traces of you linger
long after you've gone.
But not long enough
to make me mourn.

Thank you for passing comment James. I am quite sure your garbage man would have had better manners than this chap.
