someone who looks just like you
caught my eye
and reminded me of all the reasons i was drawn to you
that smile
in your eyes
the lightness
of your spirit
won't you look at me again?
won't you smile that same sweet smile?
tell me you love me, that I'm your little big heart?
one year has passed. feels more like one week. you were right beside me in my dream.
talking and laughing with my family like you belonged.
but it was all a dream.
goodnight, sweet one. you opened my eyes wider than they've ever been.
I have nothing but gratitude left for you.
you were a teacher.
who taught me the most important lesson in my life.
it would have taken so much longer to learn without you.
thank you, departed.
