Reminders of Me

You’ll watch her when she cries,
Be attentive to her pleas,
You’ll wipe a thousand of her tears
But all you’ll see is me.

You’ll soak up all her laughter,
Bask in the sound of her glee,
You’ll share a thousand giggles
But all you’ll hear is me.

You’ll kiss her in the morning,
And before you go to sleep,
You’ll steal a thousand kisses
But all you’ll taste is me.

You'll get used to her perfume
Though you'll find it far too sweet
You'll catch the smell of home in the breeze
And that scent will be me.
 
You’ll touch her body nightly,
You’ll pray that you are free,
You’ll trace every inch of her skin
But all you’ll feel is me.

You’ll try your best to move on,
But this I guarantee,
Whomever, whatever, wherever;
You’ll find only reminders of me.
