Remembering..

With every breath you take
The air you breathe is me
So don't think me dead
I'm no more than a breath away

With every candle you light
That softly burning flame is me
So don't think me lost
I'm no more than a spark away

With every smile you cast
The lightness in your heart is me
So don't think me silent
I'm no more than a joke away

With every melody you sing or listen
Each note reaching your ears is me
So don't think me quiet
I'm no more than a song away

With every pebble you toss in a pond
Each ripple it creates is me
So don't think me calm
I'm no more than an inanity away

With every tear streaming down your face
The wet trail they leave behind is me
So don't think me immersed in the past
I'm no more than a thought away

With every cut that makes you bleed
The blood from your veins is me
So don't think me lifeless
I'm really not that far away
