Another Year Already...?

Here's a poem I wrote and posted this time last year. I can't quite believe that another full year has gone by...

Almost Full Circle

Almost a year since I saw your face

Almost a year since I felt your embrace

Almost full circle

The passing of time

The world keeps on turning

You’re no longer mine

Almost a year since a kiss on my lips

Almost a year since your hands on my hips

Almost a year

I cannot believe

Twelve months of the calendar

Since you did leave

Almost a year since I’ve been alone

Almost a year, and in some ways I’ve grown

Almost full circle

I try to stand tall

Your memory lifts me

If I should fall

You’re in every heartbeat

This love that you started

Still grows, overflowing

Although you’ve departed

You helped make the person

I am standing here

Since you’ve been gone

It’s been almost a year
