THERE

I stood there

in the spot where we reunited

the place that became near and dear 

in a town we both called home

I stood there

feeling the season change

remembering that warm summer day

while wearing a down vest

I stood there 

smiling at the memory that made this spot

a spot of significance

the natural embrace you greeted me with

I stood there

breathing you in

my solitude did not feel your absence

because you were there with me in my heart

I stood there

charting our path in my mind

imagining where we went

wanting to hold your hand

I stood there 

hoping to feel a tap on my shoulder

hoping to hear your voice

hoping to see you again

I stood there

in that spot

I snapped a picture of the view

that spot will never be the same

I stood there

feeling special and loved

knowing we are just getting started

you and I

I stood there 

in the past

today

and I will stand there again
