You Came To Visit Me Today

You Came To Visit Me Today

You came to visit me today.
I saw you in his gentile smile.
I saw you in his stride, as he walked across the room.
His eyes, his features, the way he combed his hair.

You came to visit me today.
Day's come and go, and always you are near.
I heard your voice in his.
I closed my eyes, and felt your lip's upon
My cheek, as he kissed me.

You came to visit me today.
His arm's wrapped around me, and as I lay my
Head upon his chest, I heard the beating of your heart.
All-ways your close, so close.

I can sense you beside me.
Do you see me? Do you hear me?
Do you know how much I miss you?

I send no flowers to where you are,
Because I know you are here.
Can you feel how much I love you?

You came to visit me today.
