So Close to Either Points of this Journey

I feel it wash over me

Late at night --

Not every night,

Like before,

But always Just as engulfing.

It Starts behind my Eyes

And then Burns inside My Heart.

I'm not sure how to Name it;

Sadness, Despair

Not really...

Regret? Loneliness?

Disappointment ... ?

Guilt?

I don't know ....

But Tell me How it can be

That I miss Both of them

In the same breath cycle?

One is here, but she isn't

The other gone, but she isn't

I hear Ella singing --

'... a Fine romance, with No Kissin ...'

I See the sun setting

On Boca Ciega.

"Don't Forget Your Promise"

the Last thing she said to me

I won't, I tell you, I won't

But I left so Many of my Promises behind....

Why would this one count above all?

Emotion Sans Intimacy.

I don't even know what my Status is

for twitterface ......

She almost Lost herself

When she lost Me

While she, on the other hand

Might feel Lost, herself

And never notice I was gone ...

And I am so Close to either Points

of this Journey
