no longer me

You come in life and
wave me good bye
as a gust of winds
hits my face and
moves on far away
without any trace
yet I keep with me
your memories and
that gentle little touch
made in that instant
that you were here
and each memory
goes in me like
a roaring river
that passes through
my heart to beat
against the rocks
only to move on
and for next wave
to again rise, slam
splash there to die
but even if I were to live
you won't be alive
for you would have
then died here now
from my heart and
even though you
will live on this earth
you would then
no longer be in here
with my aching heart
that has longed for you
and even though I  live
am no longer me
am no longer alive
