Letters to You

As I sit alone
I think of you, me, and us
all the good all the bad


No one thought
we would ever last
but we stood the test of time


All our memories together,
our wedding, our vows,
our kids


As the years go by
I grew old
you grew sick

I couldn’t see you in pain
I was with you when you said
with you last breath

“I love you”
I keep those words
close to me
and my heart

When I feel alone
I walk to where you rest
I know your still here

I tell you my thoughts
my sadness
even my happiness

On your birthday
I post the letters that I write to you
on red balloons

When they float in the air
they go to find you
up there in the heavens

I go to sleep wondering
will I see you next to me
wondering if it’s all a bad dream

As I drift in silence and peace
I know you see them
I know you read them

It brings a smile to your face
these words I write to you
the letters I write to you
