Still Here Your essence remains In this place where we would come Like an intoxicating fragrance  still lingering in the stillness of night I sense your presence all around and tension leaves my body A slight movement of leaves  reassuring, calming The breeze caresses my skin Reminding me of your touch Moonlight reflects on theContinue reading “Still Here”
