"Whisper"

As the ocean swept her name away
it was like a message in a bottle.
Swept away, so far away
but the words were still whispered,
I love you with all my heart, and
even though you left I know you're not gone.
I can feel your presence everywhere
even if your name is just a whisper on the waves
and the air around me.
This is my way of saying "hello"
not goodbye.
For goodbye is such a lie
because I know you're waiting here beside me
waiting for the message.
R.I.P. you are loved
we will meet again
when I catch up to your whisper.

(In loving memory of Kimberly Castle)
