This is a poem I entered into an international competition, and I placed in the top ten.
I can't be with you today,
But if you close your eyes and think,
I'll be beside you in the kitchen
Wearing your shirt, standing by the sink.

I'll be with you in the bedroom
Waiting quietly on your bed.
Just close your eyes and think of me.
Relive those memories in your head.

I'll stand by in the bathroom,
An unlikely place to meet.
I'll smile at you so playfully
As I let you brush my teeth.

I'll be your light in the darkness
Shining steady through and through.
You only have to watch it glow
To know I think of you.

I'll be the music that you listen to.
I'll be there in every song.
I'll laugh with you and sing with you
And comfort you when your day's gone wrong.

I'll be the wind that ruffles your hair.
I'll be that warm embrace.
I'll be the hand on your shoulder.
I'll be the tender touch on your face.

I'll be the clock gently ticking
Reminding you of the times
We've shut the rest of the world outside.
We're in our own world: yours and mine.

I'll be the moon as it dances
On the water cold and still,
For I have loved you always,
And I know I always will.

Though you may not see my physically
As you live your life today,
Just close your eyes and think of me.
I will not be far away.
