I heard that song today,
the one I played a thousand times
in the days after you died.
I was a seed on the wind,
you were the river and the shore
the border that my heart was heading for.
I heard that song today
and it all came rushing back--
the shine of the face I loved
and the ache of missing that.

So poignant it hurts, especially that second stanza. Wowzers.
