there are things lost
 in transit
 in translation
 in memory
 in imagination
 in re-imagining
 in love
 in the lack thereof
 in leaving
 in growing
 in time
 in no time at all
 in gardens
 in hallways
 in heads
 in hearts
 
you do not fall
 into this list
 of too-easily lost
 yet you are
 for always
 lost to me
