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. |
