Selfish
I feel greedy today
Holding onto your things
Not wanting to part
My mind is whispering
“You would make some one’s life
A little bit better
If only you could share”
But my heart is clinging on
Refusing to let go
I want to keep your olive shirt
Your auburn jumper… your pair of jeans
I want to keep your pile of papers
Your navy socks… your golden car
I want to keep your reading glasses
Your hearing aid… your sun burnt shoes
I want to keep your fingerprints
Your footsteps… your magical laughter
I want to keep your frozen tear
Your loving eyes… your sweet smile
I want to keep your tender touch
Your charming aura … Your heavenly gaze
And I want to drown in all
Drown in… you
I feel greedy today
