"Lingers As Long"

by Jeph Johnson

 

oh how I loved
her then;
her capacity to love
paled in comparison
to her ability to love,
to transform
to become
someone else
who no longer loved me...
she learned quickly
how to forget-
the love that we shared-
I have never forgotten
and it lingers as long
as I am me
