Empty Seat next to me

I can’t help myself while picturing you sitting right beside me.

You would take my hand and the warmth would make me feel whole again.

I would take you to all the places I love.

Everywhere. Everyone. Everything.

You and I would go dancing.

You and I would drive.

You and I would cheer for our team.

You and I would kiss.

It’s almost like you materialize right next to me.

I’m so glad, I’ve wanted you there all along.

The seat is so cold,

When I shake awake and see.

See that it is not you beside me,

It is only an empty chair.
