Day by Day.

I wonder if the sound of your footsteps

Will ever fade from my memory,

Whether your laugh dripping with sunshine

Will grow fainter in my ears over time,

Whether your peppermint grin, sparkling with life

Will start to crumble from the edges of my deteriorating vision,

Oh but I can still see clearly,

Those colours that surround you,

Threading the rainbow into your words,

As your hushed whispers echo through these empty hallways,

Beckoning the me that grows old,

Towards our past that lies buried,

Rooted in the embrace of the soil,

Still etched in the heart,

of the one who was left behind.
