THOUGH I AM GONE

 

Though I am gone,

And you feel alone now

I am with you still.

I am there

When you revisit our favourite places

Retracing the steps of our togetherness

To somewhere reassuringly familiar

I am there

In the sunlight dappled shade

Of a woodland walk

Where bluebells bring the wood alive
I am there

When you stand on the lake shore

And gaze out across to the water,

Though I cast no reflection.

I am there

On the long walks

As you kick your way though

Autumns golden gown

I am with you

When the winter snows lay,

Though I will leave no foot prints.

I am there with you,

For all the moments that were ours

For though I am gone

I am with you still
