I have not lost you.
The scent of your perfume still lingers.
I close my eyes and memories ensue.
We spent time waiting in the Disney World queue
for the show, interrupted by a cell phone ringer.
I have not lost you.
One night, you made me stew.
On the stove, I almost burnt my index finger.
I close my eyes and memories ensue.
The roses in your garden were covered in dew.
You watered the flowers without fear of bee stingers.
I have not lost you.
I remember your little old lady shoes
and your beaming ring on your wedding finger.
I close my eyes and memories ensue.
In the hospital, it was your cue.
We celebrated your life being singers
in the house of praise. I have not lost you.
I close my eyes and memories ensue.
