I dined with your ghost tonight, across the table from me, at our special Thai place.

It was a wonderful evening-

I have never been alone less lonely.

We laughed at shared remembrances, then slipped together into smiling silence.

Your ghost has your eyes, your hair, your mannerisms; leans forward excitedly to make a point, then falls back easily in the chair.

Your ghost is most charming…

So good of you, while you are so far away, to leave your ghost with me for company.
