Pieces of You
Everywhere I go
I see pieces of you…
A piece of you in the parking lot
Where we used to meet and chat,
A video clip of you at that burger resto
Walking up to me with the menu.
I find you in my playlists,
The songs you picked for me.
Alone in the car,
Conversations playback.
Shopping at the mall,
You critique my choices.
Even in the shower
I can hear your laughter.
Driving in the afternoon sun,
Kisses when we’re stuck in a traffic jam.
I see you through the window
As I wash dishes, mouthing I Love You.
When I’m trying to make a decision
I hear your voice in my head,
But when I’m at my lowest
I sense your worry and care.
All around me pieces of you
Scattered, blown by winds of memory
And I try to hold on to my sanity,
I try to make sense of my life.
