Super Ball

I drop you from heaven
and you bounce back like a super ball
that I remember from my youth.
It always came back up
but each time with less height, like you 
you seem to be landing further away
each time I think of you.
Please, use that spring in your mind
to come back to me.
I long for that smile
that glint in your eye
that laugh that I love so much.
