That slow awareness
of your awaited presence.
You were calm,
your long-missed
and longed-for
gentle strength
coming through strongly.
There was no doubt it was you, here. There.
I was saddened again
but soothed to feel your presence.
“At Last”.
Together, with your lead,
we mentally flip through the
tender, unforgettable memories of
our early acquaintance,
the fairy tale dating and wedding
and finally,
our early married life,
so sweet.
Such utterly precious days and nights.
You stopped us there.
You gently reminded me
how much you loved me
and how much I loved you.
We were both grateful to remember,
together.
We tearfully exchanged our
definitively last apologies
and
said our reluctant, lingering goodbyes
for the absolutely last time,
and
then you were slowly, slowly gone
for the last time.
I slept quietly that night,
finally at peace
with your final leaving.
