Lost

He's haunting me, 

I can feel him around me,

Sometimes unexpectedly. 

Other times, if I pay attention,

I can feel him next to me,

Arm around my shoulder,

Callused hand in mine

Memories of cologne,

Movies, iced tea, and toys 

Dance in my memory.

I can feel the sobs creep up,

In my dreams I feel desperate,

Desperate to bring you back with me.

Promises of things we'll never share

Dances, food, dates, love, memories

You were there for most,

And in ghost,

I know you will for the rest...
