It’s You

Every time I close my eyes,

it’s you.

Every time I want to talk,

it’s you.

In my dreams, 

it’s you 

Every time I daydream,

every time I dance,

every time a song says

what my heart cannot,

it’s you.

Every time I lie awake in bed,

reaching for a warmth

that once felt like home,

it’s you.

Every time something wonderful happens

and I cannot wait to tell someone,

it’s you.

Every time I have an idea

I want to pull apart,

turn upside down,

and build all over again,

it’s you.

Every time I laugh too loudly,

I remember how you laughed with me.

Every time the world feels heavy,

I remember how your voice

made it feel lighter.

Every time I imagine tomorrow,

somehow,

you are still standing in it.

In every quiet moment,

every crowded room,

every beautiful thought,

every ordinary day

it’s you.

Always you.

And then I open my eyes.

I reach for you.

I look for you

in all the places you used to be

and remember

I can’t 

Yet somehow,

in everything I do,

in everything I feel,

in every little piece of me,

it is still you.

Every time.

It’s you.

With Love,

Ayo
