If I have lost you now, my love,
I'll live.
If I have lost your love, Sweetheart,
I'll live
To see the day, someday,
I'll go one livelong day
Without one thought of you.
But that will be a thousand or two thousand days
Away,
Before one day will pass
without my missing you.
Your emails signed "Love always"
I retain,
And those just ending "Love,"
As well.
And as I age, and all things dim,
It may just be that you,
And everything we shared,
Will be the last sharp glimmers
That my fading mind will hold.
