Some mornings your essence lingers close

Like the morning dew clinging to a rose

I inhale the deep sent of your missing body

While my eyes peel open for the smell of coffee

The sun is placed just right in the sky

I look down at the place you'd normally lie

Tears swell up in my already sad eyes

I can still feel you, though I've said my goodbyes

The caress of your hand on my cheek,

The racing of my heart that was nowhere near weak,

Your fingertips sliding against my throat and lips

The weight of your grasp upon my hips

The feel of your body entwined with mine

The kisses and nips that were simply divine.

Yes, the tears have come again down my face

But the memories of you don't fill the space

It nags and pulls upon my wounds

You seemed to have left me far too soon

Whatever you may have known, i wish you knew

That i was a better person because of you
