Everywhere I looked you were there.
I felt you here just yesterday
when I closed my eyes.
Once I opened them again,
you were gone.
Frantically I searched,
praying you were okay.
Each moment that past
felt longer than the one before.
Hopelessness, loss, emptiness,
nothing held any meaning.
Confusion was all that was left.
The fog lifted, I realized where you were.
This whole time you were there,
you never left, you held me in your hands…
For you are me.
