When I'm gone

Hope there's someone

When I'm gone

Hope there's someone
​​​​​​..... and I hope you laugh
Just like in our worn, old photograph
When we'd waste long days in cornfields, under fervent, homely sun
Laughing, just laughing, until the day, too soon, was done. 

I hope they grow real close to that crease above your nose
That wakens just before you laugh
 Love it more as love grows
Just the way that I have

I hope they know just what makes you smile 
When shining eyes crinkle with mischief for a while
Flash to azure from deep blue
Drunkenly swim into them as I would do

God I hope there's someone
But most of all.. 
.... I hope you laugh

Thanks so much Tina. It is written from the heart, I find that they are much appreciated by the reader too when they are. I know that may be stating the obvious to some but it is something that I only recently learned 😊
