I still
after four years, now
go to pick up the phone to call you
and each time
it hits me anew
that I can’t
so I talk to you
in my heart
instead
I know you hear me
and in your gentle way
I hear you, still
but if only
we could have just one more call
this morning
I long
to tell you all the things
saved up in a corner of my heart, for you
