Surfacing...
...and like that he's here again...
I don't know what makes me think that if i put a feeler out that something will come back...but it did.
And now it's as if no time had passed and we're just picking up the conversation where we left off.
And it's so incredibly strange how he was just here in my thoughts...recently, and how I had just been wondering how he was; I was thinking something major had happened to him; a great loss.
Tonight, as I walked home I looked up into the night sky, littered with stars and again he came into my mind.
So...I wrote to him. I don't know what made me write to him. I had basically written him off. So when the e-mail bounced back I figured OK, fini. But then I had copied to more than one address and the next thing I know, I have an e-mail from him. I hesitated to open it, but I did. He invited me to chat and we did. And I found out everything that had been happening to him lately, and he HAD suffered a terrible loss. And he was so close to me at one point in the process and I did not even know he was here...we could have actually SEEN each other...but the moment passed...
And now...now he's back in my orbit and I don't even know where to begin again. But I know this...we will pick up where we left off - as if we had never left each other's lives.

Wow! What a great poem, in its clarity and honesty—for something so difficult to understand/explain. I hope the best for you. I have experienced something similar and so, I can’t elaborate because it’s just too difficult to understand.
