Surely you were apparition —
there within reach of these hands
that once held yours so freely.
I could not resist stepping through
the curtain of your space and my space
just to see if you — if we — were real.
I know you knew I was there,
even if you could not meet my eyes.
The waver in your voice gave you away.
Did you feel me touch you
as you walked away?

Amazing use of words! Very ethereal.
Thank you! : )
Mmm, you had me at “ghost.” :)
Gotcha!
Ohh. Nail on the head.
Yes. : )
Sounds so – real.
Your writing is fascinating.
Maybe it was real…
I was thinking…
What a splendid photo for the poem!
Perfect, right? : )
