When...
When the wind brings
a memory of your laugh,
a hint of your sighs;
when I feel you,
as if you are crying in
my arms, for comfort;
when I sense you,
a presence in empty night,
and I feel alone;
when I feel love,
that defies ages, refuse
to be diminished:
when the void, left
in my heart moves me, how can
I not shed these tears?
