My Lost Love

In a moment, our lives were changed; a tragic twist of fate.

My smart, strong man, on his way over; as usual, running late.

Never anticipating when I received that call

They told me you were in an accident and the tears started to fall.

Unresponsive, rushed to surgery, massive injury to your brain.

You were in a coma, on life support; but you weren’t the only one in pain.

It is almost too much to bear, you are here but you are gone.

Time passes, tears still fall; neither of us can move on.

Your recovery has been miraculous; you weren’t expected to make it through.

I see you every day; but I still miss you.

The man that could debate any topic; the man that could fix it all

That man may never come back to me; memories are getting harder to recall.

So thankful that you are still here, but I can’t help but feel this way

I miss my love, I miss my friend, I miss the man I lost that day.
