I Miss You

While sitting in a church
the other day
I strongly felt your presence
It’s been nine years since you left
As I sat there quietly
In the stillness and calm of it all
I felt you sitting next to me
Answering my questions
As if we were talking like before
I told you I’ve made mistakes
You said we all have
It’s part of being human
I told you I should have done more
You said I did just fine
Don’t worry
Everything is fine
I told you thank you
You said for what
I said for what I was taught
What you gave me
Your legacy
You smiled
I told you I wanted you to
be proud of me
You said you always were
I told you there is an empty space in my heart
You said you were sorry for the pain
I miss you
It’s the holidays again
Your favorite time
I asked if you remembered
You said you did
I miss you
Every day of every month
I always will
