Did you hear me?

Tiny whispers tap my ear drums
as a hand caresses my spine. Turning
to see who it was. Empty space. Ah
you watch me.

  Saving me from the possible
mistake I may have made. Aware. Senses peaked. I know you hear me. I feel a silent calm. Warm and cool.

 Enter my mind. Store a memory.
Covet the times passed by. Stunning
the flashes to neutral.

  Know that I may wonder how can
you see through me. I close my eyes.
Quiet tears slip down my face. Falling
in tiny pools beside my feet. Do
know my soul weeps for a loss.

  Am I okay? Can I hear your voice
saying, please move on. Take the next
step toward a new day. Feel the tugging of not wanting to forget. I am afraid to let go. To see I am not as strong as so many people think I am.

  To feel your arm resting on my
shoulders once more. To look into your face as you fade away. To finally feel peace. Releasing in a happy down pour. Knowing I am cleansed and prepared for life without you.

Just a gentle breeze makes me aware you were listening all along. I love you forever.
