YOU KEPT YOUR PROMISE

Folder: 
FOLDER 2011

On an August morning not so long ago.
I was making myself busy, starting
to run my errands for the day.

The sun was brightly shining. It was
a beautiful day.I felt more light and
happier than usual.

I had just left my home, driving my car.
I was alone, windows open, when
suddenly a cool breeze fanned my face.

I felt a presence enter my car, taking
up the space in the passengers seat.I
felt as though someone had entered the
car with me. I instantly glanced in that
direction to check it out. The seat was
empty, but the presence was strong and
lingered for several seconds.

Thoughts began to run through my mind. I
remembered words once spoken to me.
I will never leave you, like your shadow,
I will remain with you always, I promise.
I whispered secret words in return.

Just as quickly as it came, it was gone. I
was emotionally disrupt. Tears filled my eyes
I was forced to stop the car, and gain my
composure.
Turning my mind back in time, I whispered,
Oh face of yesterday, you kept your promise.

thank you for reading and understanding. As soon as I felt this presence, I knew who it was.
That is why I just ended with Oh face of yesterday you kept your promise. I will love this
person as long as I live.
