The air tonight
Crisp with rain
A slight chill
Coming through the window
Cigarette smoke
It all reminds me
Of when you were still here
When I was a kid
Staying over your house
Spooked by every tiny sound
The cool air coming in
A car driving up the hill
Fading in the distance
My heart aches for those days
Now so far away
All the things you've missed
But I hold onto these little things
Reminders in the wind
Visiting me tonight
Remind me of you
Before you died
Crisp with rain
A slight chill
Coming through the window
Cigarette smoke
It all reminds me
Of when you were still here
When I was a kid
Staying over your house
Spooked by every tiny sound
The cool air coming in
A car driving up the hill
Fading in the distance
My heart aches for those days
Now so far away
All the things you've missed
But I hold onto these little things
Reminders in the wind
Visiting me tonight
Remind me of you
Before you died

Beautifully written poem, the imagery was astounding and really set the atmosphere. I'm sorry for your loss, but all is not lost, as you have these memories.
