Lingering

Lingering in the forefront of my mind
Tucked in the sleeve of my soul
Pulsing through my hot veins
In each heartbeat and foot step
Each deep breath and misstep
Every tear drop and lip curl
Hair twirl, side glance and smirk
Is a piece of you I carry with me
Forever present in all I do
I vow to keep and carry you

For all those in my life I've lost
You are with me. Always. Always.
