Almost

 I see you everywhere, everyday.

Your hair, your smile, the way

you walk I hear you talking

 just beyond the scope of senses.

Whispering grief relentless.

It's just

I see you everywhere, everyday 

in passing cars too far away

for seeing to be certainty.

That it was you. I’m never sure. 

I know it makes me miss you more

for

I see you everywhere, everyday.

Smoke curling over ashtray

warm. Your jacket cold, unworn.

You took this journey defenceless.

Cumulonimbus portentous.

but

I see you everywhere, everyday.

Shoulders disappear through doorways 

in the distance. My resistance 

to reality acceptance strengthens 

Credence of multidimensions

because 

I see you everywhere, everyday.

It's weirdish hide and seek we play.

Between these worlds unseen

I slip and slide to find some comfort

but remain with pain encumbered.

Man,

I see you everywhere, everyday.

Gratitude’s debts remain unpaid

immured and uninsured

but mutual as our own destruction 

despite heroic harm obstruction.

Now,

I see you everywhere, everyday.

I hear the words you cannot say

mostly evoked by echoes ghostly.

You'll never forget, always forgive

and in the other timeline live
