For you, with love.

and so it was

that at least for a few days

he was reminded

that life could be something different

something else besides deep thinking

constant pondering

and profound reflections

on the nature of life and man

humanity and the world of god-

none of that was real anymore

when she took of her clothes

and laid naked next to him

the most beautiful thing

he had ever seen or felt

and for days that was all he could

think of

knowing all the way she was bound to go

as he was bound to leave soon too

it would not last

and nothing could hurt like that could

like being happy at last in a dream

but waking in an empty bed alone

the fear of the notion

that he would never have her again

all he wanted to do was to say goodbye

and tell her how special she was

how he would carry her eyes along

wherever he went

and that not even time could fade that away
