When I close my eyes
I see his face
I know each little each of the marks and whiskers
& where they are placed
Sometimes I miss him
& sometimes I don’t
How did we get here
At a point where in my mind we will never again speak
Our bond was strong
Through thick & thin
Even through the mistakes
That took years to repair
All our movies & songs
Tells a significant love story
We knew all the lines
& constantly shared them with each other
As a simply reminder
That we would always be there for each other
With my mistakes, I was forgiven
& im not sure if I can do the same
Only time will tell
How that part will end
I know I will forever love him
But my hand will not stroke his cheek again
Everyday I tell myself that I’m ok
I guess realitynis I’m just afraid
I relied on that safe place that is no longer mine
He asked me once to share what I saw when I look in the sky
Plainly knowing the obvious was not it at all
I look for guidance in those no longer with us
Praying they will give me the strength
To get through, what my heart really needs
Its sad I can’t ask you
Those were the days
So long
& good bye
