I sit by myself,
But for some reason
I no longer feel alone.
I no longer have to face
The loneliness I previously felt.
I seem to find no use
For sad, senseless metaphors
In this small moment.
I can visualize you, right now,
From earlier today.
I can still almost feel you
Wrap your jacket around my shoulders,
Kiss my cheek,
And I can hear you telling me
That I will be okay.
All I can truly feel, though,
Is the cold air
And the warmth of your jacket
And the tiny hope
That somehow the scent of your clothes
Will linger on my skin
For just a little while longer
So that I may be able to hold you closer
In some way or another
Even if just for a moment.
