Möbius

I guess a person 

does not stop loving someone, 

ever.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, 

loving a person once, 

no matter how short-lived, 

or how long ago it was, 

it actually does not go away, 

it stays - it is eternal.  

It eats up a piece of your heart 

and leave a wound 

that will never heal .... 

a part of you, 

lost forever, 

for it was given freely to another. 

You would think with time, 

you have moved on 

and left that old self 

and all the emotions contained within, 

but come a chance 

to see the person again 

or even just hearing his voice 

or reading his words, 

that warm feeling will rise up again, 

engulfing you, 

make the tips of your fingers tingle 

and your palms cold. 

A few seconds, 

that is all it takes 

for all the memories to come rushing back, 

all the familiar sensations 

fills your every being, 

and you are back there again, 

in that momentous time and place, 

a long time ago.
