A Piece of You

I will never understand how something or someone can be there one minute and gone the next, everything all washed up and tidy as if nothing ever happened; as if they never existed at all! One of life's many wonders and yet something about it all lingers, the apparent non existent person lingers if not in physicality than they linger within. Suddenly I can see them, where they were right in front of me as clear as day smiling at me.  Suddenly I can hear them and the feeling of wanting to be with them is unbearable and I find myself reaching out into anything that is there, if only something to hold onto; something to cherish always.
