The True Nature of Loss 

                                                              As she entered the room,
                                                                         I suddenly
                                                               remembered the scent
                                                                       and the taste
                                                             and the feel of orchards
                                                                      and harbours
                                                            and sixteen other sacred
                                                                       places that
                                                           I visited during my youth ..
                                                                       And although
                                                            I never quite forgot them
                                                                         I no longer
                                                            think of them each day or
                                                                        mourn their
                                                           existential passing, such is
                                                                   the nature of loss ..

Rings true to me of you. I don't peg you as a mourner. I am however. Maybe that's how I know?
