The smell of your cologne lingered on my jacket as you leaned in for a kiss
That big cheesy smile was a permanent fixture on your face
I stared at you in awe as you collected your things from your truck
Dancing in place because it was cold and you laughed remarking how I'm always cold
Walking beside you was one of many favorite moments
The smallest gestures from you were always a warm surprise
You were a beast by nature
The pillow stealer
While I slept, but all I could do is laugh
The paperwork you always had to do but never managed to finish
Even on those rare occasions you were not doing okay
The smallest gesture from me made you smile
I caressed your head while you slept knowing that I had 2 minutes before you turned around
That was your thing,
Life seemed perfect by your side, just being together watching shark tank was enough for me
But nothing is perfect
The days of seeing you smile and laugh were coming to an end
I had no control over what was going to happen
Your last goodbye,
Your last kiss,
And what I always seemed to do just in case I never got to see you again,
Pulling you in closer by your hoodie to kiss you a few more times before you left,
Not knowing that would be the last time our lips would meet
I sit in my car looking to my right and wonder will you appear sitting next to me
Every space I was in created a new memory when you became part of it
You were the reason for my smile,
You were the reason for my glow,
You were the reason for my happiness,
Life left my body the day you left
No words could describe how heavy my heart felt
The phone call I never expected to get
Became a reality,
"He's gone"
