Love Poem: Ancient Angst

Ancient Angst

I found an old notepad file 
tucked away deep within 
an archive of untitled folders. 

It was labeled 
'her' 

Oh, lord. 

I double clicked it. 

"Oh, I miss my friend 
She is the bringer of smiles and warmth 
She is as sweet as Honey 
She is the beautiful figure that populates dreams 
Engulfed in a simmering girlish beauty 
I remember her late in the evening, in the midst of sleep 
How long will I have to wait to speak to her again? 
I wonder this. 
In my dreams she clasps my body as we embrace. 
Our forms drawn together as one, lips melding into each other, I realize: 
I was in love with her. 
She is gone, but in my mind she lives on 
As long as my memory sustains these images."

Phew.
