Thoughts on Grief II

18 days ago you left

and

I am slowly getting used

to your physical absence

I never thought it possible

that you would not be here.

Reminders of you

are all around.

In my heart

in my soul

in my essence

in my tears

you were loved

with ferocity.

You loved me

as none before.

Thank you

for fighting through pain

to live

as long as you could

to do

as much as you could

to worry

about me

to love

with all your being.

You will

never be forgotten.
