be careful about what you wish for
the old adage says you might get it
and be sorry
and if you lose it you're sorrier still
and still ache to have what
you almost had
because it is so
precious
not just the
closeness
or the tenderness
but the deeper intimacy
the intensity of
something
so potent it leaves
you empty
when it is gone
the lingering of a feeling
you can't recover from
worse don't want to recover from
her look, her sound,
her taste
all part of something that stretches
out beyond the five senses
she being the one being you know
you'll never
encounter again
and those who lose
her
who struggle over the loss
realize just how
special it was
when those who don't pine
who give it no second thought
don't know what
they're missing
