Memories
My nights seem so long when your not at my side,
I have thoughts of you always on my mind.
When I think of your arms holding me tight, my body aches and shivers with delight.
Your smiling face as I try to kick and squirm free,
your still holding on trying to tickle my feet.
I wipe the tears from my eyes and softly thank the Lord for giving me this time.
I close my eyes I can hear you say it will be alright, your smile is always so big and bright.
I pause for a minute not wanting to open my eyes, with no surprise your not standing there.
I see just the memories you left for me, with or without my eyes closed.
I stand here hugging your empty sweater, holding you next to me.
Thank you for the lasting memories.
