your smile lingers

artwork by adriarandoart

you were my true north

your hugs pointed me in the direction

i knew would always be home

a home with fresh flowers

on my favorite glass table

but that table is dusty now

and the flowers

have forgotten how to bloom

sometimes i untie a string of your memories

to make you spend the day with me

i walk down

multicolored paths

we once shared

till the end of the day

when i have dried tears

remembering

and always

your smile lingers
