He loved her once,
Even if only for
one single moment,
in all of time
they had connected....
Eternally
sealing them together
in her memory
~Still~
Not knowing
when it would reach out
to claim her again,
it gripped her heart
like a vice....
Squeezing
at the tender, raw emotions
that linger there
~Still~
So she stands alone
in a silence
unshattered
by his gentle voice
looking back...
Sometimes
it is almost as difficult
as looking ahead
~Still~
