The butterflies 

Have not settled

Since you arrived

And your eyes

Met mine

O glance my way

So far away

I wonder

It has not been

But a day

And still

I remember

Incredible poem. You managed to capture so much in so few words, and that is a talent. The biggest books and longest poems are never the best ones, but this is something worth reading.
