Traces of You

It’s been so long since we parted
But the memory of it
Felt like it was just yesterday
Your smile haunts me to this day
Days, weeks, years pass by in darkness
Between us, I’m the moon
You’re the sun
Without you I can’t shine

Your clothes, your gifts
Everything that reminds me of you
They’re all here with me
I can’t let them go
Traces of you are treasure
Stuff that makes everyday bearable.
The day you left felt like hell
The last smile you gave cursed me

Death is a double edge sword
It’s brings both joy and misery
Now that I’m where you are were
The agony seems worth it
I can once again see your smile
I made you wait all these time
Who am I to refuse now that
you’re here to invite me over

Very true! I just don’t know what’s on the other side and if really we can meet there too…
Jessica E. Larsen
Yes, but I hate the idea that there’s nothing on the other side and we will never ever meet the people we care for
popsiclesociety
Well, hopefully on the other side is like in The Good Place, you know the TV Series?
Jessica E. Larsen
Nope. Never heard of it. But thank you for introducing it Ribby! Sounds interesting!
