The day you took
your last breath
was the day
my world went dark
My world turned to
eternal night
It felt as though
my heart had shattered
into a million pieces
It became so unbearable
that I wasn’t sure that
I would recover …
Or even want to
As time went on
I understood more
that you would want me
to keep living,
to keep moving forward
Instead of being
consumed by grief,
I try to focus on the
happy memories
we have shared
I know that you would
want me to be happy ~
That gives me comfort
I believe you’re still
watching over me
I feel your presence
in the little things ~
That warm breeze,
that song on the radio …
Life will never be the
same without you,
but I’m learning to
embrace the changes
and find joy in the now
I will always carry
your memory with me
My world has light
once more
Until we meet again …
