On Kathy

It makes me sad to think she’s drifting away
I loved her so, her brown eyes and her deep magic
I never understood what it was that called to me in her
a beautiful loner, she understood my ways very little
and yet there was, is, something that makes me ache for her love
but I’m beginning to see it could never be
not now, anyway. Not now in her life, maybe never
she’s deep in her aloneness and she may always live that way
I’m glad I love her no matter how it comes out
thank you, life.
