She's Gone

She doesn't talk to me anymore
and I feel an emptiness
where she once fit
even though I never knew her.
It's strange how I miss her
and how I sometimes feel a need 
to fill that void,
but she no longer needs me – 
her wait is over,
and I think she's satisfied
that yours is too
since she placed your hand
around mine.
