Please Haunt Me

Sometimes
I sense you there, my love
in the air, in the room,
in the light.
Sometimes,
there's a soft warm touch
upon my shoulder.
I sense you there
when I'm feeling blue.
Sometimes,
I know it's you.

Some don't believe in ghosts.
They are in denial; just don't believe.
Why don't they understand
that your loved ones stay close at hand?

Sometimes,
I see a whispy shadow from
the corner of my eye.
I turn quickly to find
that you have disappeared.
Are you playing games with me, my love?
Are you just here to protect me from harm?

I believe in God.
I believe in Angels.
I believe in Ghosts,
and I believe in You.

Darling,
I know you're here with me;
in my heart, in my soul,
and in my lonely room.
So, haunt me if you want to.
Never leave me.
But, please haunt me for eternity.
