Echoes of Your Face

I can be anywhere,
doing anything,
when suddenly I catch
an echo of your face.
Like a bolt from the blue
it hits me;
and the image is almost
like a
caress,
because the sight
of your face
and the whole of you,
makes me smile -
a little secret smile
inside my heart -almost as if you are a
Secret
That I do not want to share
with the
Rest of the world.
And now,
after all this time,
that is where you
belong
and always will -
inside my
heart
along with the
Echo of your face.
