When I Forget
When I forget,
my mind reaches
to you, to ask you
if you remember...
then I remember
you aren't there.
You went to Heaven
to be with the Father
We used to be
a two-pack,
one finishing up
what the other began.
Now I am left
holding your wrapper
not knowing
what to do with it.
I want to wrap it around
my shoulders to keep me
warm inside and all around.
You went to Heaven
to be with the Father.
I remember you.
