Anywhere

How do I keep missing you when you’re everywhere?
Your breath inches from my face as I blankly stare;
I look everywhere...
But you’re right here.

Your scent on the breeze
Your hands over me
Whisper in the trees
………Everywhere
…And I’m right here.

Putting on miles without getting closer,
Burning up time just to watch it smolder.
Seasons ask why they get older;
Heroes fail as the critics get bolder
…But you’re still here

There was a time that I shared this space
Comfortable in this skin, the sun on my face
Darkness creeps in at a persistent pace
Denial serves fantasy’s plan to our disgrace
… But you’re still here
