I never travel to your grave

It’s not there that I feel you.

 

You’re in every memory

Every dream that I dream

Every hope that I hold

 

I see you in every laugh

 

I smiled the most with you

 

I see you in every sunset

We would bathe in the glow

 

I see you in every song

Your voice was my favorite melody

 

I see you in every heartache

You would hold me until the pain was gone

 

I see you in every hug

I still feel your arms around me

 

I see you in every first kiss

None will ever taste as good as ours

 

I see you in every car crash

Some nights I still scream your name

 

I see you in every hospital

Where I watched your chest fall for the last time

 

I see you in every casket

I was afraid to let you go

Above all,

I see you in my heart,

where you will stay with me forever

because you see,

 

We didn’t have time.
