day eight: apart

you’re with me in my dreams, you know
just like you’re always in my heart.
even though i can’t always remember 
how you smiled, so long we’ve been apart
next to notebooks filled with your thoughts
i can see in my mind the faded chair
since you left that seat they repaired it
and your ideas are replaced with a teddy bear
i hope you know how much i miss you
how much i strive to make you proud
i think you can see me, can’t you, when
you’re up there floating among the clouds?
i wish you could only see the good things but
maybe you can see my anger and jealousy
are you with me when i’m crying alone?
am i still worthy of your legacy?
you’re with me in my dreams, you know
just like your always in my heart
even though i can’t always remember
how you smiled, we’ve never really been apart
