Dearly Belated (An Ode)

I'm wishing that you

were here to talk to,

so that we could share

one another's hearts

and though love was 'stranged,

forgiveness abound'.

Closure came when I

sought you out. We hugged,

we cried and assured

each other, resolved

to rebuild. Only

the city took you.

I never mourned you

and I still miss you,

but I am like you.
