The Way You Saw It
I woke up in the morning as the sun was starting to rise
I stared at the vibrant colors as a tear formed in my eye
I thought I would never view the world the same as I once did
But something about your death revealed the secrets it hid
So perfect and peaceful; a scene you would have loved
But then I realized you have the best view from above
I see you in the world as I travel through
I think back to the crazy times and the marshmallow hay bales you swore were true
Old memories of stories and inside jokes are fresh on the surface of my mind
I still remember that road-kill song we would sing to pass time
The smell of the hemlock reminds me of you
Riding with the windows down just after the morning dew
The honey suckles and the fresh cut grass has a stronger smell than ever before
Smells that I love, but you loved more
It’s as if the world is reminding me that you’re still here
I thought I saw the beauty before, but now it’s so clear
You have become the beauty I now see
Beauty that I know will never cease
