Missing You.

“I miss you” she said,

As I walked into the care home.

“I miss you as well” I said.

My  lover has missed me for a day,

But with me it is different,

For me it has been months,

Even years,

When my loved one became trapped,

Trapped in her own world.

She had gone,

Gone into that world of dementia,

A world I could not enter.

So yes I miss her,

Miss the lover that she once was,

She no longer exists.

So I often wonder

Where she is,

She is no longer within my world,

Not the woman that I married

So many years ago.
