Disappearing act

Soon you will see me where I am not
You will see that place where we first met
and you will think of me
You will think of me but I will not be there
Still
that space place will be different
because I was there
and in your heart
in your mind
in your memory
I am there
That place where we talked for hours
That place where we changed
That place where I took you
That place where we once lived
In all these places
I am there
and I am not

You will see some bug some artist some something
and I will appear to you
but not

Now I
I will have no such places
for I go to a new place
A new place without memories yet
A new place without you without us
Still
I am sure that somehow
I will find you there
in the mountains in the snow
in the museums
in the opera house
on the back of the vespas
I will find you
but I will not
A fruitless game of marco polo hide and seek
always almost but never

until we meet again
