Magnanimous

Watching this woman
this magnanimous woman
this woman is
magical
Holly Golightly
would be jealous

Saying hello
is a joy
although
saying hello
means
I was away
from her
there was a time
we were apart

More disastrous
is saying goodbye
losing sight
and touch
and smell
is losing
all sense
in me
and I miss
what is mine
my life
my addiction
my love
I do not want
to live
without my life
for too long.
