You are still the first thought when I awake
A face and soul
In between joy and tears
I keep your scent with me
I can always see you
Your face in the fading morning light
Later when my eyes close
And later still in the dark of sleep
Always a glimmer, in the farthest deepest dream

The first thought when I awake
You’re gone
Still gone
All I have is the first thought
I keep it close,
