He's Gone Poem by Linda Barnes

No one can understand
How my heart beats
Why I still love a man
When he left so long ago

They don't see what I do
No matter how much time
Separates our lives
My love for him never dies

It's not that I can't comprehend
Why resistance should be there
I just love with my soul
Even though it's not returned

I can't explain this love
Why I can't let it go
It's how I love with all I am
Bittersweet with no demands

This is not a choice
That I want to live like this
I just love unconditionally
Even though he's gone
