it's only after you leave
that I start to see you everywhere
I see you in the empty cups
hanging on the stand
I see you in the toothbrush
stiff from neglect
the ukulele you used to play
and the books that you read
I see you in the empty chairs
at the dinner table
I see you in the sunset
that we used to watch together
the ****** TV shows
that you watched and cried over
on hot humid summer days,
I sit and reminisce
what could've been
and what will never be
if this is what it's like to see
I wish it happened sooner
it seems that I was blind
when you were here
