Growing old without you sounds so scary; that I cannot rid my mind of that thought. For it's almost too much pain to carry; knowing that you won’t win, although you fought. Your passing was all I had on my mind; my only focus was comforting you. Now, having lost my guiding light, I'm blind; and thus, I do not know what I will do. I cannot fathom living without you; although I know it is what you would want. And so, that is what I must try to do; though, thoughts of joining you, still subtly taunt. Losing half a soul is so traumatic; all daily tasks switch to automatic.
