I'm Here

I watched you from the window
Crying in my chair.
I stood and stared in silence,
Could you feel my presence there?

I held your hand so gently,
As you sobbed in disbelief,
I whispered to you softly,
"Death is sweet relief."

I wandered in the kitchen,
Yet nothing was prepared,
You couldn't bear to cook for one,
But darling~I was there!

I'm in the air you gently breathe,
Surrounding you~I'll never leave.
It's merely time that separates,
Be patient, Dear~our love can wait.

I'll tuck you in our bed tonight,
And warmly kiss your face,
This evening won't be lonely dear,
You'll feel my sweet embrace.

Be patient as the days pass on,
And know my spirit's near,
Until we meet again my love,

You must believe...
I'm here!
