Could

you never knew how much you loved her
she could breathe the sunshine brighter
her laugh was the essence of lilacs
she swam like a swan in the pools of your eyes
she could dance in the rain of summer’s bliss


imagine, if you will, that she still holds you
draws you closer, puts her head on your shoulder
imagine she is singing, softly, in harmony
where do you think she resides now?
in the clouds?  in the soil? in the wind?

does she think of how you lay side by side?
so close, yet so far because you denied
the truth of the passion that rose beneath you
always the actor, never the true teller

of history as it could have been
