This morning
I visited you in a memory

I remember the
sound of your laughter,
and your smile that
could light up a dark room

The way your eyes could shine,
your warm embrace and
the scent of your body

I remember everything

I look up to the sky and
can almost hear your voice
whispering in my ear
I could feel your
presence all around me

I know that you’re
watching over me
from above

I’m grateful for the time
we had together
and for the
memories we made

So this morning as
I visited you in a memory,
I smiled through my tears ,
knowing that you’re
still a part of me ,
and that nothing
can take that away

Until we meet again …
