Some Times
Sometimes, when I go to sleep,
I close my eyes and see you
Standing there beckoning me
With that radiant smile on your face

Sometimes when I wake up
I’m curled up holding a pillow close
With my arm wrapped around it
Like I used to wake up holding you

Sometimes when I’m on the bus
I get a whiff of perfume
That reminds me of the musk oil
You used to always wear

Sometimes when I’m watching TV
I see a sick child with a weak little voice
Like yours when you’d make me promise
I’d always be there to make you well again

Sometimes when the wind is blowing
And my hair gets blown against my face
I’m reminded of how you used to drag
Your long soft golden hair, slowly, down my naked body

Sometimes when I’m traveling
And there’s no one there with me
I smile and think about how we giggled
And laughed aloud when we’d talk

Sometimes when I’m alone, I cry
Wishing you were there with me
With all the smells, touches, and other things
That made me love you.
