One Day My Love

There’s a store 
downtown amidst the other 
small businesses 
that towers over the rest 
big and fancy 
with copper trim and gutters 
big glass windows
from the floor to ceilings 
showcasing their 
expensive and upscale linens 
I pass this shop 
every single morning and night 
and it never fails 
something always catches
my eyes every-time 
It’s so odd because I’m not 
a materialistic guy 
nor could I ever see myself 
spending the funds 
it most definitely would require 
to buy one of their items 
however there was a time 
when I thought it would matter 
and that time reminds me
of her because for my love 
price never mattered 
this place gives me trace 
to find memories 
of when I was still with her 
for her presence 
of magnificent beauty too 
with elegance that 
always demanded my attention 
and I realize everyday 
as I pass by this place twice 
how much I still 
truly love and miss my Jennifer 
although I must 
understand and realize this 
just like the store 
she has nothing to offer me 
but a nice view 
for her love I cannot afford 
nor any other 
in my current condition 
however that 
doesn’t mean I can’t imagine 
a day to come 
when I don’t have to 
window shop
