Not so very long ago
as I dined under a magnificent moonlight
something suddenly struck me
and changed me forever
see it all started
a few years ago
when I lost my greatest love
grief started to follow me
it sat on my heart leaving it heavy
it laid on top of me
it was beside me everywhere I’d go
it even bathed with me
and sat with me in the rain
waiting for the bus
which on some days arrived hours late
after all death is final
and she died without a goodbye
but grief was always there reminding me of this
I know you are waiting to find out
what actually struck me?
It struck me that each year that passes
I look ever so much more like her
a simple glimpse in a passing mirror
I can see her darling warm smile
and her diamond blue eyes, sparkling
I can see her within myself
so I guess…
she’s never really been gone has she.
