Recurring Remains

Tethered by your memory,
you come back time and again.
And here you are once more.

And that's kind of the problem.
You visit all the time without being here
when all I want is just a while longer with you.

I understand...

this one for sure. There are a couple of people that this happens with all the time; I think of them, and then think, they are gone, not here for me the way they used to be, you brought this thought to the fore. Nice, brief tale told well. ~ Geez.
