Accepting Fate
December 9, 2010
Minutes, days, months.
They all pass by
Painfully slow.
135 days elapsed
Before I had even realized
Your absence.
When the news arrived suddenly
I stood there
Reluctant to accept it.
Remorse, grief, melancholy,
Anger, hostility, wrath.
So many emotions took over.
I wouldn’t attend the funeral.
How could I?
You had not told me you were leaving.
I keep expecting to see you.
To embrace you tightly
Just as usual.
But, every time
I’m left disappointed.
The days have grown easier, though.
I can breathe now.
But I’ll always miss you.
