Longing

Longing

the words you said

the kisses you gave

the embraces I'll never forget

the laughs that echoed that parked car

                      I.

I can't put them into a jar
    close the lid tight
    wrap around it
    or
      drink it, inject it
      open the lid and let the contents
      soak into our skin.
I can't make it come true again.

                      I.1

Truth cannot be explained through
     the biology of emotion.

                      II.

Do you ever think of me?
Do you ever miss me?
Does your body ever ache for mine?
