Every day I see you,
Delicate and demure
Jet black curly hair,
Intense, gleaming eyes
Dusky, skinny beautiful...
In my mind's eye,
I behold you - a child;
Despite the decades
That parted us - when
I lost you in life's strife...
Wondering what life
Would've made us,
Had we been together -
Would our kinship have
Grown; or withered away???
I carried you in my heart,
Over the decennials of my life...
As I grew older and fatter,
You remained same - thinner
And younger, yet; always with me...
Why is it hard to let you go,
I know not; everywhere I go
I take you with me...
Often I wonder who you are,
My friend or my own little self???
