Gone But Not Gone

Everytime I close my eyes
I see you soaring
and I fly along
your wings
they carry me
and I can smell your sweetness
as your body touches mine
I'll never forget
what you meant
to my soul
that you gave it beauty
at my darkest of hours
you were my stregnth
when I couldn't find the power
in a silent room
I remember it all
as I curl up on a bed
that just seems too large
now that you're gone
I am my only friend
in this reality
it's so hard
when all I stare at are walls
missing those tell all eyes
that stared so deep inside
every morning with you
my ear pressed                         against your chest
hearing that incredible heart beat
now that you've left
I search my mind
to hear the words you gave me
how you saved me
and gave me a lifetime
to love
and just because I can no longer
hold your hand
I can find times
when I'm not alone
if I just close my eyes
I still feel you
your wings
they carry me
