across the hall.
In your usual clothesI can feel your gentle and slow moves.
I can sense
your presence
staring at me..
But the moment
I moved my head to
glance where you are...
I was saddened
seeing you slowly fading away.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
to check me out?
I am still sad, weak
and disappointed.
But take your rest
my love...
from afar let's
guide one another
and
remember our
happy moments.
the happy thoughts,
joyous memories
and the good words
and experience you gave
will be my tools
to make a better life...
