Six Years

Six years and I still hear your voice

Booming loud above the noise of the world

Six years and I still hear you humming

Never waiting for the music to start

Six years and I feel your lap beneath me

Stroking my hair and playing with my fingernails

Six years and I still feel the floor vibrate

Rattling the window as you walk down the hall

Six years and you’re still scheming

Another gadget to slip into the house

Six years and it’s time for a jigger

Maybe a finger more

Six years and there’s no one like you

No one to fill your void

Six years and I still miss you

Forever my soul mate, my friend

Six years that feel like a lifetime

Yet only the blink of an eye
