Vanish

You were the one,
and the one
you will always be...
How could I think now
to take another
into my deepest corners
where you have gone,
now that my heart
is taken with you
to a warmer climate?
How could I ever
not dream, reach for you
to hold close, to love,
when those images
haunt me still
even in daylight,
when the heart that's
come to beat for you
breaks so complete
watching you vanish.
