I keep on seeing you there
Holding me tightly as I unwind about my week.
I keep on seeing you there
Laughing at the beach, after something I said.
I keep on seeing you there
At the library, behind the Autobiography and the Memoir alley.
I keep on seeing you there each and every morning in the school's hallway.
I keep on seeing you there
Sitting next to me as you tell me more about yourself, making me love you a little more each time.
I keep on seeing you there
Lying down in my bed, drawing soothing circles in my back.
Yet, you're not there.
Not waiting for me in the lobby
Or around the corner, greeting me with one of your bright smile.
You're not there.
Not sitting on the edge of my bed, waiting for me to tell you about my day.
You're not there.
In the back of the car, resting your head gently on my shoulder as you listen to me, tears swirling down my cheeks with a breaking voice.
You're not there.
Squeezing my hand tightly as I walk out the door, telling me everything is going to be alright.
You're not there in the morning kissing me softly.
You're not there in the afternoon looking at me like I was your world.
You're not there at night, wishing me good night and tucking me in.
Although I keep on seeing you there
As you wrap your arms around her, pulling her in closer as you kiss her forehead.
You were never there
Because this was never real
