11:53

I wrote this about a dream I had about my friend Arik who recently died. Please just read and comment. Tell me what you think…
The clock stands still on 11:53
I can feel you
I know you're here
But you whisper in a language I don’t speak
I've missed you for so long
But I knew you’d never leave me
I told them you weren't gone
But they just called me crazy
I reach out to touch you
But all I feel is air
Please god tell me this isn't true
I could have sworn you were just here
Do I really miss you so much
That I’ve started to believe
That I can hear you voice and feel your touch
Like you're still a part of me
Or where you really there
For a brief second of the night
To show me even in my despair
Everything will be alright
