it's been an hour
since you left

now
it hits me
as once again
I find myself
missing you

longing
fills me
unrelenting
desire
to be with you
again

the sights
play
behind my eyes
the sounds
play
behind my ears

pieces of you
I keep
my inner treasure

I thank you
for each of them
they are
my sustenance
making everything
bearable
until next time
