Dream of You

I dream of candy apples and sweet potato pie 

The cool mornings we’d walk down the horse trails

The nights we’d stay up talking about our lives 

But then I wake up in the night 

And you’re not here anymore 

I still remember 

The way you’d make your sandwich 

Mayo on top and bottom

One slice of cheese, two of ham 

To me, it was so gross back then 

But now I make it just like you

So I can pretend for  a moment or two 

That you are still somehow around

and not in a coffin in the ground

I dream of candy apples and sweet potato pie 

And the walk we’d take when you were alive
