I Wish I Knew

Auburn
   leaves crunch and crumble under my feet as I walk along the
   very same path you once did. The wind whispering to me all
   of your dreams, wishes, hopes.
Skies
   grow darker earlier. More time for sadness to sink in. Autumn is
my favorite season. It was yours too. The start of hockey, leaves  begin to tumble to the ground. Warmness fills the air, despite the chill of Winter approaching,
Only
  filling my heart with more pain without you here. Shades of
  crimson mix with hues of a bright flame to bring the warmness
  of harvest together, but this year something isn’t quite right. I
  can’t tell if my imagination is growing only to play tricks on
  me or if you are really here. Trying to speak to me. Trying to
Exist


  among the shadows. The dusk solemnly reminding me of my comfortless
  thoughts.
In Dreams,
  I only wish to see your face again. Smiling at me. Visiting you in the
  unhappiest of places. It didn’t matter when or where, you were always
  excited to see me. Now my dreams only haunt me. Taunt me that I will
  never see you again. I wish I knew if I will ever see you again. But I guess
  only time will tell..

This piece is very personal to me. It explains how I felt and continue to feel about losing my grandfather back in 2011. I wanted to dedicate this piece to him, because of the amazing times we shared.
