It’s been too long
– and I should know.
Since we last met
my vision’s gone blurry:
everything that is not you
it appears
is simply not worth seeing.

Colors are muted
and my favorite songs
seem irrelevant
in your absence
like they are inadequate mono
without you to hear them.

It’s like
without you
there is less of the world
to absorb
or appreciate
or interact with.
I am diminished without you
and
that was just for a chance meeting.

I’m lost without you
I guess
and hope that you’ll soon find me.
Please
retrieve this missing package
before I lose all of my senses.
