Like A Ghost
You're not with me anymore.
I see your face now and then.
Like a ghost.
You haunt me.
I'm trying to move on.
Trying to forget.
But you won't let me.
It's like you don't want me too.
I've tried my best.
not to think of you.
Since the day you passed.
I try, but I fail.
But you keep popping up.
I always see your ghostly face.
Making my plan fail.
To move on from the pain of your death.
I think of all the times we've shared.
Not the bad ones.
No one wants to remember the bad.
But I think of the good we've shared.
I think of how I want to remember you.
Your laugh.
Your smile.
All the good about you.
You've left us.
Left this world.
In heaven you shall be.
Flying with you're wings.
But you stay here.
Watching over us.
Like a ghost.
You haunt me.
