I See You I Hear You I Feel You
I see you in the bus rides to school, when the sun is shining so perfectly over the trees.
I hear you in the music I play when none is listening.
I feel you in the rhythm I dance to when none is watching.
I dream of you during the rainy cold nights.
I see you in my brothers tears.
I feel you in the perfect moments of life, the type you would never want to end.
I smell you in my warm bed sheets in the morning, when I don’t want to get up.
I hear you in the languages I don’t understand.
I feel your soothing reassurance when I wake from nightmares at night.
You may have left me in body, but your spirit stayed.
Because, my love, though I am hurting now it does not compare to the love we shared.
And though you are missing from my side, I know you never wanted to leave.
And in the meadow where I lay, I feel your warm embrace.
Maybe your bones lay rotting in this wicked earth, but your heart is still beating with mine
