Was That You

My dog began barking at the air
I began to ask myself 
Was it you? Were you there ?

I thought I heard your voice in my ear but couldn’t make out what it said 
Was that you
Or is it all just in my head

I saw the light on my cable box show the time suddenly dimmed and then go bright
Was that you
Telling me that you’re alright

A plate was knocked out of my hand and fell to the ground
Was that you
Were you 
 letting me know that you are still around

We spoke of you and the broken phone began to sing
Was that you 
Telling us to keep fighting

I hear tapping on my roof as I lay in bed
Was that you 
Letting me know u can hear what I  said

I look for you everywhere I go 
Was that you 
Telling me what I need to know 

I’m having a hard time knowing that you are gone away
Was that you
That I felt besides me as I pray 

I’m fighting for you everyday to find the truth why ur gone
Was that you leading me 
Or telling me that I’m wrong 

I find it hard to believe that you are no longer here
Was that you
Are you still near

Was that you show me a sign 
Am I going crazy
Lost my mind

Was that you banging on my wall
Was that you
Or am I imagining it all
