Light Up In The Sky

It was over ten years ago.
But it seems like just plain yesterday.
Since I last saw your face.
Your smile. Your eyes.
They lit up the world.
And now they light up the sky.

I have few memories.
But those will never fade.
The smoke of your cigarette.
Is one of the last to remain.
The smell of peppermint.
Lingers in the air.
And every time I smell that smell.
Lights in the sky shoot up.

The thought of you. Crosses my mind.
Each and every day.
Those few short years we had together.
Were more to me than people know.
No one knows how much I still miss you.
And I do. Miss you.

When I last saw your face.
Your gentle face.
And your heart.
Your warm heart.
I did not put two in two together.
That, that moment was our last.
An end to such a beautiful relation.
That should have lasted much longer.

I know you are looking after me.
I can feel your presence in the air.
I hope I can make you proud.
Of the life I have lived. Living. And will be living.
I hope you know that I will always love you.
And I will always keep your memory alive.

The tears stream down my face.
On the most unusual days.
You would not want me to waste.
One moment. Crying.
But I cannot help the feeling.
Of being alone. Without you.

It was over ten years ago.
But it seems like just plain yesterday.
Since I last saw your face.
Your smile. Your eyes.
They lit up the world.
And now they light up the sky.
