Occupied Spaces

Occupied spaces
I’ve seen your ghost
Across that street
In those places we used to meet
It’s these places, these occupied spaces,
I’ll never recover from the retreat
Breathing that air
Seeing those places
We occupied together
In space and in time
A moment, never to repeat
Except in my mind
And the ghosts continue to walk there
They continue to play there
They continue to talk and fall in love there
Now, only ghosts
Only haunted
That fill those places
Where we used to occupy spaces
