The words come gently today,
gliding on sweet memories of you.
I caress the sheets and feel the softness
of your skin against my palm,
I inhale a memory from the pillow
that once touched your hair,
A smile grows on my lips
as they remember yours,
resting so sweetly on them
at our parting.
And that gentle joy wells up in my heart once more,
flowing out through my eyes....
Coloring all I see,
with shades of you.
