As if you were here today

(c) Uootem 2002

Sitting outside is nice
as I look to clouds above
see different shapes
of love's sweet forms remembered
as if you were here today.

As I turn to see
pretty flora of color
I smell each in turn
and recall your sweet perfume
as if you were here today.

Sitting under a tree
I feel the breeze that blows by
and changes my mood
just the way you always do
as if you were here today.

I reflect on us
having fun in youthful days
tickling my heart
when love was so new and fresh
as if you were here today.

There is silence now
gone is the laughter of love
that you brought to me
yet, I can still hear your voice
as if you were here today.
