Sentimental Journeys

I kiss your memories with my lips,
As I wrap myself with the embrace of your warmth.
You are far away but it is as though you are here
Your presence lies within the folds of my shawl
On the top of the pillow,
At the side of the table
Your fragrance follows me wherever I go.

I see you looking at me when I catch a glance in the mirror
I feel your touch as the air caresses my neck
Like you have sent a thousand kisses from wherever you are
You taste the food I make and relish every bite
You listen to my stories and kiss me goodnight
You hold my hand when my heart trembles
You stand by my side in every joy and hurdle
You know the words to say to console me,
You know the music to play to soothe me,
I have you right here with me in my heart.

I kiss your memories with my lips
As I wrap myself with the embrace of your presence.
