'I was here'

 

so, you were here
and now there is this here. a space a place.

filled by an overflowing void
an emptiness full of subjective objectives.

so, you were here
and did you leave something? behind,
this legacy of remembrance?
or did you lose something? no, that was just me.

 

so, you were here
and I was there, too
but you are not my validation of existence,

nor is this gap yours

so, you were here
and what else is left?
a trace, a sensation, a note.
a loss or is it a gain?
