In the night
in the stillness of the long forever
of long long ago ,
the now that we have lost forever
the now that that was then long ago :
The here where we no longer stand
the there and then that was taken away ,
leaving us standing
stood waiting forever for time to return ,
to the forever here forever now
retrieving those days lost from long ago ;
the there ,the then
the was ,the when
in the night
and the stillness thereof.
I love the way you have expressed and used words to highlight the emotion.
