Memories - My Simple Wishes

I wish I didn’t lie awake at night waiting for the key to turn in the door announcing your return, I wish I didn't imagine myself hearing your footsteps down the hall, I wish I didn't long to hear your voice, every time the phone rings hoping it was you on the other side, I wish I didn't miss you sitting next to me on the train on our way to work, I wish we could have our stolen moments back, when we sneaked away from work just to have lunch together, I wish you did not insist on driving your car to work that day... Maybe you would still be here with me, Maybe we would still be making memories…

So sorry for your loss, Wilma. Too often we wish we could go back and change the past, but you are doing your best to deal with the reality of this loss. I know how easily sounds can trigger memories and inadvertantly create hope and expectation. Very touching poem. Love, Carolyn

I can't say that I know how you feel but I can imagine how you feel and this write truly expresses the loneliness and sorrow that you must be feeling..Keep the creative pen flowing..Sara
