I'm staring at magnolia walls
Unwilling
I'm not ready to move
Not ready to laugh
I think I'm okay
Erroneously
The good memories end
In rainfall
I want to stop missing you
Selfishly
But not really
Because sadness means love
If I begin to accept
Logically
I'm afraid I won't think as much
My grief keeps you constant
Can I admit
Candidly
That I'm afraid of forgetting?
Scared to forget us
You're the first one
Genuinely
I've struggled to let go
It makes my very being hurt
I feel burned
Bruised
Each moment of sorrow
To consume me
Then I'm okay
Temporarily
Life continues anyway
As I nurse this pit of blackness
Your passing changed me
Eternally
My own life is transitory
I will die too
And in this life
Regrettably
I have but a short time
To fill it with meaning
I've realised now
Fortunately
I can't pretend
That I'm untouchable
You've taught me
Unknowingly
About accepting my fate
And living it anyway
But despite this
Truly
I miss you more than I can say
And I love you forever
