You will always live

i didn't love you.
i love you still
in the present tense,
in the here and now
in this breath and the next
you are not gone from my heart
nor will you ever be.
just because the earth no longer
holds your body, doesn't mean
that our souls are not entwined.
we are mingling every day.
joined at the horizon of
this world and the next.
you weren't-- you are.
you didn't-- you do.
you can never be erased.
