The Night's Caress

How many have there been?
Those great conversations
Not merely grand, but truly great
Beyond sleep or thoughts of work tomorrow

Rambling thoughts shared
Nights caressed from both sides with gentle words
Minds entralled by learning
As much as mere ideas

How many souls connected and then lost?
I stop counting as I near a dozen
The number seems too high to bear
That none are with me now
