My heart aches 

For yours

And I can't help,

But wonder,

If you miss me too.

You are so far

From me now;

Time has slipped away

And, like a current, 

Has pulled you away too.

I see you now

And my heart

Sinks

You are so unlike 

Yourself these

Days,

My dear

We used to be 

Young, 

And unaware

Of anything beyond 

The playground 

But times have 

Changed 

And so have 

You

But don't worry

My Darling, 

I'll still be 

Here

When you comb through 

Memories 

Like Black and White 

Photographs 

From lifetimes ago

I hope you

Have a photo of

My smile and a 

Recording of my 

Laugh

In your box of 

The past

Where have you

Gone, 

My Darling?

I miss the old you

I miss the one 

who I'd 

Chase around the 

Playground;

The one who,

On the last day of

Childhood and said to me,

"I'll miss you." 

The you I see 

Now is not the one 

I once knew

I miss my friend 

And I wonder if

You miss me too

Am I simply a 

Memory or evidence 

Of time passed?

I miss you,

My Darling, and I hope you'll 

See

That you were far 

More than just a 

Black and white Photograph 

To me.
