your name
is whispered on the wind
shadowing my every step
how can you be gone
and yet so close?
old photographs
spread out upon the carpet
your scent so strong
are you really gone?
your empty pillow space
shall never fill
your place in my heart
shall never be taken
how can you be gone?
sometimes I feel your touch
and remember
how it felt
with your arms around me
holding me close
nobody can make me feel the way that you did
unless you have not left for good
are you truly gone?
