We talked for hours
That night
About everything
And nothing
It was a time
When the world around us ceased to exist
Selfishly, I savored everything about him
Hungry, greedy, consumed
By his presence
His very being
And he answered
He fulfilled my hope
And my deepest desire
Yet kept me longing for more
Leaving me
To still my soul
And silence my heart
And later
To pick up the pieces
Shattered by grief
