I saw you today, But you weren’t here

My little sister still asks about you
I tell her that the stars swallowed you up,
That they needed your light
So now you spend your time
Forming constellations in the sky 

I don't tell her
That I've talked to the sky 
Every night
Since you've gone

I don't tell her
That I see you in her eyes,
In the way her hair flies
Free around her face

I see you in everything now
Maybe because I'm always looking
For traces of you
In this city
That I can't call mine
Without you
