What once was

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
