these scribbled words you gave to me
declared your love
your voice speaks through every page
and i etch every single word
inside my aching heart
your scent follows my every step
and holds the small and fragile me
oh what i would do
for one more time
to laugh and sing with you
to smile aside my pain
to lean into the arms of your embrace
to hear you speak those scribbled words
once more for me
