You
The dreamcatcher now mysteriously hanging in the bathroom
The Lego creation left on the kitchen counter
The Hot Wheel placed atop the piano
Moments of carelessness, forgetfulness, absentmindedness
Or, intention, gestures as you leave pieces of yourself for me to find
Reminders of your creativity winking at me as I prepare dinner
Your dreams drifting out of the catcher, whispering to me as I wash my face before bed each night
Your speed, a reminder of how quickly you will grow, taunting me as I sit at the piano and prepare to play.
I see you, I want to say.
Always here for me.
Always reminding me that you need my love.
Don't worry, I think.
I see you. I love you.
Keep forgetting things.
Keep leaving pieces of yourself behind.
I will always find them.
