I found an email
Yesterday
That you had sent to me

A party
Some festive affair
With date and place
To be

Four years ago
You sent it
I remember the event

Even down to what I wore
The evening we had spent

There were so many nights like that
Attended through the years

But they tend to run together
Without reminders near

Time has passed
And so have you

I stop and think
How long

Yet present in my daily life
Are you
Being so gone.
