WHEN YOU WANT TO SEE ME

“Your dad died many years ago.” I said. 

“Yet you never visit his grave.”

“Did you have a falling out?”

“Is there something you never forgave?”

 

She smiled.

“Dad took my hand when he was sick.”

“In a few moments...he would fade.”

“He said, there’s no substitute for the time we’ve had...

and the memories we’ve made.”

 

“Our future’s about to be taken...

and I know that doesn’t seem fair...

but whenever you want to see me...

visit your memories…I’ll be there.”

 

“I don’t need to visit his grave”, she said,

“and I know he wouldn’t mind

for I visit him whenever I want

 

in the memories he left behind.”
