When they die
How fortunate it is to be there with them.
Eye to eye as they fade.
Holding my breath as they make their final exhale.
Kiss them goodbye.
Whispering, you are free.
Thank you for the time you shared with me.
Our life happened so quickly.
Please, don't leave me all alone.
Take me with you.
I don't want this pain.

It's been five years now.
Open my eyes to a beautiful morning
I reach over and feel for you in the bed.
Already up.
Maybe, you are making coffee and bringing me a cup.
Reality washes over me.
I flush.
Turn gray.
My eyes well.
I feel the choking lump.
I cry a little tear for you and me.

I have forgotten you face.
The sound of your voice.
Your pillow has lost your scent.

I have found new love.
Please, forgive me.
I will always cherish you.
For my sake
I have to put our life
in a small box.
I bury it in the bottom of my heart.

I will always love and adore you.

Now.

I am free.

Nice.

Enjoy your freedom but welcome the dull ache of sweet memories tugging at your heart.

We are only human.
Aiming to be something higher
While denying our wretched frailty
Will leave us only frustrated and clutching at straws of uncertainty.

Not my personal experience.

It came to me after reading the dating after death thread.

Heartfelt

Perceptive and beautiful Will....

Thanks, y'all.

I wish to dedicate it to all who have had those losses.

And strive to live, enjoy life and seek new love.

Just between you and me, Ms Leigh, as it was flowing, my heart hurt and I wept.

Imagine. Having lost someone who felt like they were part of you.

One day, in this lifetime, I just might know that.

(((((( C )))))) Luv you!

Beautiful
