Traces

Traces
everywhere I look there are traces of you
like smoke wrapped around the bare limbs of a fall tree
a soft scent so elusive yet it permeates my life
an open book or your coffee cup
traces everywhere

Traces
I do well ..really
until I hear your favorite song
and I double over in pain
I wasn't ready for you leave
you should have waited

Traces
you left a shirt on your chair
I sleep with it now
it's not the same
you should have waited
I never got to say good bye

I would have told you
how much you were needed
how much you were loved
I had so much left to say
and I never said Goodbye

but you left your traces..
on my heart
on my soul

I only  wish you had waited ...

May The Lady Hold You Gently My Love
