If I Die Young

I've been lurking over at Jenny Matlock's Saturday Centus
and just had to participate this week. 

If I die young,

you can know 

I will still be with you.

You shall feel my hand

touch the back of yours

to give you comfort

while you watch

scary movies
alone.

You will hear your name

whispered
in your ear

and
will turn to catch

who calls.

You will breath deeply

whenever you smell
vanilla

and it will feel
like a hug.

And the taste
of chocolate chip cookies

will remind you
of the softness of my apron

and
my love.

. . .

and when you see butterflies

dancing on unseen breezes,

you will know it's me
and think
how much more

coordinated I have become.
