I See You
I see you on every fuzzy border and margin,
In every memory and sentiment.
Sometimes you bleed in like a watery cloud of steam on the glass wall,
And sometimes you peek through the windows,
Your eyes glistening blue, like the crispest of oceans.
When I close my eyes, I am not blind,
Because I always see you standing in front of me,
Grinning like an eager child.
The freckles spotting your face tell their stories,
Sun-blazed memories spinning in my mind.
It always comes back to you,
The soft breeze or the piercing birdsongs in the air.
I always come running back,
On my knees for you,
Looking up at your face, needing, pleading.
You’re gone,
But I still see you.
