Gifts

He gave me a saree and said 
"Every time you wear this, imagine it's a hug from me" 

He gave me a new lipstick 
"With every swipe, imagine my kisses" 

He gave me new earrings 
To imagine him nibbling my ear 
A matching necklace
To imagine him burying his face in the crook of my neck 

And when the distance felt overwhelming
I donned the saree, the lipstick, the jewelry,
And felt it all again 
His loving embrace, his kisses, his touch 

Even long after he was gone
