Memory.

It's only in your mind
it's only make believe
the man in front of you, you really do not see.

But yet his hand holds out for yours,
and when it touches you it is soft and warm.

There is smell of roses that he once brought home,
and the smell of places where you two use to roam.

He says 3 words "I love you" in a monotone voice.
Then he leans in for a single kiss,
and the taste of his lips is something you miss.

You then open your eyes and things turn to mist.
And this memory lets you know you love and miss him.
