Know That I Grieve

i have not buried you

in the past

but as a keepsake deep

in my heart

sometimes I catch

a glimpse of you

as you pass through

my mind

and my heart skips

a beat

you smile at me

like you did then

when our eyes met

and my soul danced

If you should find

yourself

thinking of me

know that I 

loved you then

truly, deeply loved

you then

and know that

I grieve the death
of that moment

in time

when I could have

told you

but instead

I said nothing

and let you walk away
