When One is No Longer

When One is No Longer

When I think of you

as indeed, I do often ..

You feel

so very much alive ..

But then,

you are no longer ..

And so,

when I try to think

of you harder ..

As indeed, I so want

to do ..

You are no more

the carefree

young woman, I once

used to know ..

But rather the ghost

of all those

women I have ever wanted ..
