Carry you

I carry you with me 
Everywhere that I go.

In my eyes,
In my smile,
In the way I walk,
How I talk, 
Even how I act and dress.

I am something of you merged,
Bits of what you were,
Pieces of what you are,
Snippets of what 
..you could have been,
And as I continue,
I will become something of you never seen.

I carry you 
In laugh and tears,
And memory and stories.
Most of all, I carry you
In my heart.

I carry you
As though you 
Are part of me.
How lucky I should be
To carry you at all.

But how unfair it is all the same.

I shouldn't have to carry you at all.
You should be here,
Carrying your own
With me by your side
As it's always been.
