After So Long Poem by DAVID TERRY

She is out there
Somewhere
Somewhere and I don’t know where or how
She is living now
Now that we no longer speak
Yet my heart still feels weak
Without her

Without her
I am never really sure
Sure of what I’m doing or what to feel
It feels unreal
More each day than one before
And I wonder if I will be evermore
Without her

You’d think that after so many years
Overcoming fears
Fears of being alone and far apart
Away from her heart
With her far away on her Island
Apart from her in a strange land
Without her

It would be easy to get by
To work and fly
Flying here and there chasing the next job
Among the mob
At night I think of her on that cold October night
When first we kissed and all was right
Even though now I am without her
