Love After Death

To carry someone in your heart
That you can neither have nor use
Touch nor hold nor even claim.
To have desire and put it down,
To have wants and go without,
To keep your own counsel,
To respect unnatural limits,
To feel lost a million times over,
To value loving more than being loved,
Is an amazing, unexpected gift—
It leaves me humble and breathless.
