She arrived in my life
Without a suitcase
Only the clothes on
her body
Only the perfume of
her skin
Only the light that shone
from within
Only the music of
her voice
Only the taste of
her mind
But she stayed
until her suitcase arrived
until her eyes became
my dream
until her smile became
my hope
until her clothes became
my home
And then she left
My heart inside her suitcase
Happy in her closet
With the clothes she wore
Living her life
With me always close by
