Guardian Angel (BoowkWorm's Weekly Contest)

The wind blows
and the heavens weep:

pitter patter

on the leaves, 
on the street. 

Hands hanging down
by your side, 
the way you've been
since I died. 

Solemnly you wait
in the rain,
and I wonder...
does it help with the pain? 

You step foward
but the lights still green.
I gaze into your eye
and see a familiar gleam. 

My hands reach out
but they go right through.
For a moment i forgot
I'm not still with you. 

Then I see the surprise in your eyes,
and the warmth of your skin
and for a mere second
I'm with you again. 

I take the small chance to kiss you and whisper:

I'm still with you.
I'm still here.
I'll be with you forever, 
year after year."

Your lips are as I remember,
soft and sweet,
now I see 
you've begun to weep. 

You turn around
and walk away,
I follow behind
and there I shall stay.
