Sprite

I wear your ring every day

On my left ring finger

And prepare myself for the day

That someone asks me 

If I'm married, or engaged

I think I'll tell people it's a promise ring

And maybe in a way, it is

Because I wear your ring every day 

As a promise to myself 

That I will always honor my feelings,

And that I will always honor you,

Who showed me that I could 

I wear your ring every day

Because taking it off feels like a betrayal

I took it off once

On the day I walked away from you,

Thinking you wouldn't be far behind

I was wrong

So now I wear your ring every day

And wonder to myself

If you were wearing mine when you died
