Drift

By HadassahDare

Cigarette smoke drifting
through the air
Drifts of you slowly
floating by the ceiling
Parts of you still drift
in corners of the room
Just like the taste of
wine in my mouth
bittersweet but
very much alive
It's very easy to say good-bye
It's the forgetting
that's hard.

    Mine, as well. I, apparently, also really enjoy the word drift. Who knew?
