In Remembrance


When I lay my head against my pillow at night,

I think of things that make me happy and I think of you.

I think of that one good memory, which curls my lips into a smile,

Remembering all that your are.

Then I remember that I can no longer be with you.

A tear escpaes me even though I tell myself I shouldn't be sad.

When I close my eyes, I feel you are there with me.

The warmth of your love carrying me into a world of endless possibilities.

And when the sun begins to rise, and lull me into the day,

There is a moment.

A moment of which my eyes are closed.

A place between the dreams and reality, that is where you are,

And that is where I leave you.

Your beauty and radiance making waking up even harder,

Makes remembering your absense that much more worse to bear,

But when I begin to miss you,

I think of that place between the day and dreams,

And I cannot wait to meet you there.
