Missing
I never realised how many people there are in the world until I didn’t know where you were in it So many people with your name faces that looked like you but weren’t because I knew you’d changed It is easy to love the absent for they are always the same Yet when I found you amongst the world’s billions, the millions, the dozens in my life You were your memory – strong and true and you I need to rest my walking fingers that have trudged through countless phone books in your hands and report me as a missing person in your life Poetry & photograph © B A Saunders - All rights reserved
