Old Absent Valentines Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

'Can you feel me, know I still care as
my fingers reach to stroke your hair?
My spirit lingers all around, though
I try not to frighten or make a sound.'

'Yes, I feel your spirit in the air,
sometimes I feel you everywhere.
I didn't know angels could be found
hovering so close to those on the ground.'

'I am always near to you my dear
so you're not so alone or feel any fear
through empty rooms and empty arms,
have any reason to be alarmed.'

'I know you are close, and miss me too,
though there’s little else either of us can do.
We must live on, but in two different places
until such time there are no more spaces between us.'

'Yes, we'll live on, in these worlds apart
still holding on to this love in our hearts;
so “Happy Day My Valentine”, my only love,
I still feel you here in these heavens above.'
