I Believe

Your scent still lingers in the pillow The one with pattern of a willow The last remambrance of life Where you laid before rising out of sight I believe your soul is here with me In my shadow, in my tears Forever gone but always near Fond memories love of such a dear No replacement nowhere to look There is no website there is no book Sometimes I lay in your old place Close my eyes and touch your face But when eyes open life is real You are gone but I still feel An empty hole where my heart should be Who could have predicted it would be me A soul so full a lovers curse I wish the loss was in reverse I believe your soul is here with me In my shadow in my tears.

Ty very much Edward. I find writing allows every emotion to evolve as it should without prejudice or guilt.
