there, swinging in the sunlight*

you don't remember it
but it's there

you don't know it
but it's still there

it's still there,
waiting

you're holding her hand
and

she's holding you back

you can tell
she's smiling
by the way they
swing
in the sunlight

there.
in the lensflare

there.
in the corona

there.
in the shadow

the things
that exist
only in
between
us

you're holding her hand
and

you can tell
she's already gone

everything is gone
and

everything is
still

waiting
for you

forever
