Gone

So often thoughts of you creeps back into my chaotic mind
Where is he I asked?
Is he ok the next question to self was
And then I felt this heaviness
It was then I knew you no longer were amongst the physical ones
They say one can often tell if there heart's receptive to amazing wonders
So close we were that my body felt yours was no longer apart of this reality
Fears confirmed when my detective skills led me to your obituary 
Many years since you've left me
Why earlier had I not known this
Then I realize it was only now that my soul's been open to this type of reception
So I shed tears for the only one who ever touched my heart in such a beautiful way
And I thank God for our moments of past no matter how brief they were.
