Memories

I'm missing the footsteps to the window
in the we hours of every night
I'm craving the smell of her kitchen
where she baked with her soul
I'm thirsting for her voice
and the knowledge she shared
I'm sentimental at the thought of her smile
and the love in her eyes
Whether she's present or absent
down here or up there
she remains in my heart
forever and always
I know she'll be there
At night as I'm drifting to sleep
I still feel her eyes as she checks up on me
When I'm feeling real down
I can still feel her embrace, so loving and true
Watching as storms build in the sky
I am comforted by the talks that we've had
No matter how lonesome I get
I remember her laugh, her heart, and her smile
and I'm able to go on
