It's not like
it never happened;
it did.
The gentle sighs;
the soft sweet smiles;
the tender teasing touches;
the assuring words:
All setting
our minds at ease...
putting nervousness
and fears to rest;
then we parted.
With our going---a painful void
briefly presented its sel;
our hearts, minds and souls
experienced a brevity of discontent.
Yes, we parted...
It's not like
it never happened;
it did.
Now,
awakened thoughts
generate ecstatic memories.
