Sitting in the dark
(I do that a lot these days)
Thinking of what used to be
And how many things have changed
I caught the end of a familiar song
I pictured you singing very loudly
I pretended not to notice
How it was also slightly off key
I closed my eyes in the dark
And kept them shut real tight
I had a vision of you in my head
And for a moment, all was right
I have had some off days lately
They come in waves and spurts
They remind me that you are gone
And how that pain still hurts
But in these precious moments
As few as they may be
I feel your presence ever so strongly
As if you are standing next to me
I’ll take the glimpses in my mind
With the many shades of blue
And know God sent those moments
So I could watch memories of you…

I cry because you are gone, but I smile because you were here…
