Emptiness

I created this beautiful haven in my brain
Impressions innumerable cordially existing in explicit frames.
I sprinkle a plethora of shades from the memory pot,
adding tints of tenderness with every touch.
I saw you midway as you walked along the trail,
eagerly peeping at every snippet of detail with awe.
Soft sounds, lurking giggles, little laments, together we saw,
interspersed with simmering silence seeing every cloud sail.
Seemingly aware and unaware I was, of a looming gail.
I turned around to say
You had walked away.
Stillness screamed, but I had to smile.
The gail did go and so did you.
The haven, colorful still, 
but not a trace of the grace of your shadow.
Yes.. an emptiness you left behind, forgotten to fill.
