[Poem] And Yet

2008-10-22 @ 11:11 p.m.

it's the memory of what we had that keeps me going on

the hoping for the future -- that's enough

and yet if we gave it all up so easily
what if it was nothing but a delusion?

when i think of who you are -- who you were, who you were
your hands ... your voice ...
it's a gauzy feeling

like the happiness associated with it has grown thin.
