My dead love

How comes it, then,
that we are still together
every day and intimately,
even more so
than when you were here
alive and active,
while since your departure
you, instead of vanishing into the shadows,
your presence only has increased
up to a point of almost taking over
my entire life, more part of me
than of yourself.
It is a metaphysical phenomenon,
and I can only marvel at the fact
that you are more alive as dead
than when you were alive.

A true and lasting love like you so eloquently express here can remain alive in our hearts and memory for a very long time, if not for life. A tender and touching poem.

I sense a touch of gentle sadness in your words as they reflect on the love and loss of a true heart found. I guess only very special memories can bring alive the phenomenon that you have so movingly described. A pleasure to read.
