“You are in some songs that still get played on the radio when the DJ is feeling nostalgic. You are in a book once you lent me (never returned) with yellow pages. You are in trees when I touch them, even ones without names carved into them. You are in the way, someone on the street laughs as I pass them. You are in a box I keep filled with letters. You are in a ring I no longer wear. And, every day, you each get a moment to haunt me.”
