Here.

 

He was standing there;
He’d been right here all along.
_____________________

He was intellectually
and physically strong.
_____________________

There was always humour
and kindness in his words.
_____________________

He always had my back:
He’d never stab with metaphorical swords.
_____________________

His words are
His bond,
_____________________

I’m bound
by his love.
_____________________

His smile
is a beautiful song.
_____________________

He’s the one
I’ve looked out for,
_____________________

It was him all along.
