in the cups I drink from
the clothes I sleep in
the pens I write with
the ties that hold my hair
the jewelry on my ears

the shoes that cover my feet
the bags that hold my things

the socks that keep my feet warm
the nail polish on my fingers

the seasoning in my food
the dolls on my wall

you are my life

you gave me life
you taught me of life
you take it too

you are love
in my heart
the first I ever knew

you are home
no matter where we are
or where we go

in the quiet nights
we slept with the windows open
the nights we kept them closed to cover from the cold

I can still hear your footsteps
up the stairs

coffee in the mornings

love is small and simple

you are my everything

forever and ever

you are everywhere
