I pass the café where I ate with you
And turn back as I hear your voice.
I walk along the streets and remember
Your laughter through surrounding noise.
I sit in my room and see you as though
You were still here talking with me,
And the comfort and joy your presence gives
Keeps me from feeling so lonely.
I wake in the bed where I wanted to share
The love that you helped me find,
And through the day you feel so near
It’s hard to believe you’re just in my mind.
I know that I have no real claim on you,
Still I’m grateful for every day
The ghosts from your visit linger with me.
It makes you seem less far away.

Ghosts: the smell of my wife's perfume in a pillow; a long strand of red hair upon my clothes; my daughter's hair clip in my pocket; crayon scribbles on the wall... They're with me where ever I go.
Nice poem suthern. Thanks for sharing.

If two people deserve to find one another, and be happy, then without doubt it is U2..:-))

Love you both dearly
