Another Birthday Valentine

I slept in till ten
This morning something
I don't often allow
Because it was the birthday
Of your death and we'd stayed
Up all night talking
Long distance love affair
Now we meet up in the ether 
You half-reaching me
And I almost touching you
What's still here when they
Carry the body away
The body that loves the world 
So much it never wants
To leave except the pain
That carries it away
