Analysis of The Sky’s Blue and I Miss You
Iverson Taylor Smith 2004 (Oregon)
The sky’s blue and
I miss you
I write my thoughts when I’m alone, and they keep coming back to you.
Earlier today I caught myself scrolling through the photos of you.
I froze, remembering the first time I surprised you with a rose.
You told me they were your favorite.
I couldn’t help but smile at this memory.
I hope you really do remember me.
The real me.
The me that loves your energy.
That loves your smile.
That loves you for who you are.
You’ve come so far.
Just look there you are,
smiling with your whole heart,
brighter than any star.
Sometimes you may cry,
with tears in your eye
remember my words,
My calm voice.
a babies lullaby.
I can’t say goodbye, and you ask why?
If I died right now my brain would replay every memory,
through my sensory, and there you would be.
Replaying the first time I met you.
Cold with no shoes
and that’s something I refuse to lose.
