union

1 0 0
                                    

And I still say your name
in the most fluent of ways,
and others look confused as if
it was a language I had learnt yesterday

but you're still a vital limb
to my intangible body.
The formula to your perfume
is encoded into my skin

and when my thoughts address you
I feel you reply within.
And although our futures aren't
the memories or the tears

friendship is a rarity;
a treasure chest gifting me with riches to last endless years.
