It's Ok, Just Take Your Time

Tossing and Turning, I can't get you out of my head. How did I know that when you left, that day for work it would, Be the last day I would see you? The dreams. The nightmares, The blood and the crash. I imagine it every day, How scared you must have been? How was I not with you that fateful day? I feel you every day trying, To tell me you’re ok. I feel you behind me as I’m cooking, Always making sure I don’t over salt the food. At night looking up at the stars, Like we’ve done so many times before, I feel the kiss on my neck as you are, Reassuring me to trust myself, To breathe again, To live again and, Realize in my heart that you’re gone, And I have to let you go. It’s like you can hear me from the stars, When I tell you as long as I know you’re here, I can breathe and I can live, So don’t tell me to let you go, I’m not ready. I lay down in our bed , Crying, Missing you, Wanting you, I feel your head on my shoulder, As you say in a language only I can understand, It’s Ok Baby, Just take your time, I’ll always be here for you.

Hello Shirley, yes sometimes this is what you need to get through the grieving. For me it was different. I did grieve and then i got angry. So I wrote a poem never posted it. Then I read it and threw it away. I have moved on. You are welcome. Hugs. Darlene

Sometimes this is what you need to get u thru the grieving process. This is what helped me. I suggest it for everyone. I still talk to Toni and still have dreams. Thanks for the lovely comment.
