absence

I see you in old movies
the world around you black and white  
There you stand in colour  
The truth in all this light  
 
I see you in a photo  
curled and fading now with age  
There you stand in colour  
Centre of the page  
 
I see you in a dim lit dusk
shades all fade to grey  
There you stand in colour  
Last light of the day  
 
I fall asleep and see you  
as the world around me dies  
You are standing there in colour  
before my dreaming eyes
