I remember well your soothing voice whispering
in the night, and the simple ease with which it
was to be so awfully in love with you.  The echoes
of your tender smile haunt the shadowed regions
of my heart, and when I think of you.  I tremble
like a silly frightened child...   Through the mud-
dled abstractions of my hopes and dreams, you
weave through my soul like a thousand yesterdays
of passing joys, entwined among the lingering of
sorrows.  But, these thoughts pass by so fast, so
fleeting.  If I should pause they are lost, so brief
their life, so deep their meaning, and when time
passes its gray fingers through my hair.  My love
for you will still be there.  Deep, quiet, clear.
