I've got this ache
a dulling throb that lives in my chest
surrounding and squeezing my heart
I don't know exactly when it settled in. maybe it was the moment i knew you were dying. that this wasn't just another close call but a time that was supposed to be far away. that i never thought would be so soon
or was it the day you were so tired you couldn't stand? to even breath was difficult and all i wanted was for you to be okay. to no longer live in pain
you died poetically though. in a way that gives me comfort. when the last notes of the piano hummed you gave in to the next and beyond. like a bird finally free or a storm's break to the sun. that makes my belief in something more—true
there's nothing. nobody in this world who could fill the space—the love i carry in my heart for you. one day we'll see each other. i know that.
