I tripped over your memory today
It haunts the ground I walk on
I found myself falling into open arms
Remembered your voice as it called my name

I walked into a wall today
Pressed my nose against the glass
I remember revolving doors
And how you stopped one in its tracks

I fell down the stairs today
And nearly twisted my left knee
And I remember how all the times you loved me
You never saw me hurt

I paced around my room today
Remembering our first phone call
My voice still shaking, I couldn’t sleep
Small things like that may never change

I found myself a gift today
Remembering how little you gave me
And how so little meant so much
I slid it on my pinkie, one finger from where it’s meant to be

A memory we’ll never have
A birthstone ring of mine and yours
Little diamonds, little stones
I turn it to the side, read the small engraving

In Loving Memory,
A place you’ll always be.
