One Day

Tonight, 

for the first time,

I recognize

That one day,

This right now moment,

I will be old

And grey

And you will be gone.

I can weep with the sorrow

Of my eventual longing for you,

Right now,

Today.

For my heart 

Knows that all

Our days have digits

That are finite,

And I feel bewildered

Without the grace

Of full comprehension

Of what this human life is really about.

I miss you already

And I am so sorry I left.
