You're Still Here
Thought I saw you today
You were standing in the sun then you turned away
And I knew it couldn't be
But my heart believed
Oh it seems like there's something everyday
How could you be so far away?
Amber walked silently through the graveyard. She stopped in front of a rather small headstone, knelt down, and gingerly ran her fingers across the name on it, as time seemed to stop right where it was. She closed her eyes and sighed.
"I thought I saw you standing in the sun today while I was in the market. I knew it wasn't you even though my heart told me it was. My heart and my mind seem be fighting each other a lot lately. It just seems like there's always something. Sometimes I think I see you in a crowd or standing at the end of the hall. I often think I hear your voice calling to me or talking to our son. I really just don't understand how you could possibly be gone."
When you're still here
When I need you you're not hard to find
You're still here
I can see you in my baby's eyes
And I laugh and cry
You're still here
"It just seems like you're still here. It's like when we were dating and when I would really need you, you never seemed to be very far away. I could always find you. Well, even though I know you're gone, I can still find you when I need you the most. No matter what the problem is. I can see your eyes in my dreams. I even see you in our son. Sometimes I just have to laugh and other times I just cry. I laugh when I think of when he gets to be a teenager. The girls will be lining up at the door. All he'll have to do is look at them with those big brown eyes, like you used to do, and they'll be his. Then that reminds me of you and I just start crying."
I had a dream last night
That you came to me on silver wings and I
I flew away with you on a painted sky
And I woke up wonderin' what was real
Is it what you see and touch or what you feel?
"Anyways, I had that dream again last night. The one where I'm standing on this moonlit beach and you come to me on these silver wings and we fly away together through the star filled night sky. I woke up again wondering if it had been real. I mean, is it what you can see and what you can touch that's real or is it what you feel?"
'Cause you're still here
Oh you're everywhere we've ever been
You're still here
I heard you in a strangers laugh
And I hung around to hear him laugh again
Just once again
Oh
"It's just amazing to me though how I can go to the lodging house or to Tibby's or to Medda's and it's like you're there. I can go to any place we ever went to and you're there. You can even be in a stranger's laugh or at least that's what I heard. I wanted so badly to see if I could hear your laugh again that I hung around to see if the guy would laugh just one more time. He must of thought I was crazy or something. Anyways, I just thought I would come by and tell you that I love you and I miss you so much. I know I've told you over and over again but somehow I don't think you mind. I know the guys miss you just as much even if they don't show it. Well, I should get going. Until next time my love."
Amber wiped away the tears that were falling as she gingerly traced the name Aaron "Mush" Meyers with her fingers. She then got up, wiped her face one more time, then walked silently back through the graveyard to the gates that led to the busy streets.
Thought I saw you today
You were standing in the sun then you turned away
Away
AN: Well, there it is. I hope you liked it. I didn't make too many changes to it. I just made a few changes to make some of the sentences a little more clearer. Well, tell me what you thought of it. I love hearing from people.
