Sometimes staring at the sky, “I visit you in my thoughts. I sit with you in the quiet corners of my memory, where the air still smells like laughter and the world feels warm.
You don’t answer anymore, but somehow, I still hear you — in the rustle of the trees, in the hum of a gentle breeze.
And even though my heart aches a little, it also smiles… because you were here once, and that means you’re always here, tucked safely inside me, where goodbyes can’t reach.”
I miss you Audrey.
