Poems From The Heart

How Long

One Year and two months,
That's How Long it's been.
One year and two months,
I won't see you again.
Four hundred twenty four days, so long.
Four hundred twenty four, I'm not that strong.
Ten-thousand one-hundred and seventy-six hours.
I came to set down your flowers.
Six-hundred ten-thousand five-hundred sixty,
Every minute without you has been tricky.
Without you here my heart is in pieces
Nothing's clear and my memory ceases.
I just hope to remember all the increases.
The increase of my heart, the increase of tears,
And suddenly I can see all of my fears.
They've all come true,
As I sit here without you.
In movies, at this time, rain would be falling.
I should make this climb, but I'm still stalling.
Trying to find a way to say,
Without you I can barely make it through the day.
Thirty-six million six-hundred thirty-three thousand six-hundred seconds.
I don't want to get out of bed in the morning, but I here your beckons.
You tell me it's okay to move on,
But that I can still remember you.
All I know is that you're gone,
But all the words you say are true.
So I'll try to keep living even if it makes me blue,
But living without you is like trying to live without water.
I just hope you can remember your granddaughter.
Down here or up there I do not care,
But with me is where you belong.
One year and two months we haven't shared,
I can't believe it's been that long.
