Memory

I miss all the things that could have been

I miss all the things that are no more

I miss all the things that should have been

I miss all the things that defy physics’ laws.

I miss your smile, your laughter, your hugs,

I miss your thoughtful deeds, your common sense,

I miss your guidance, your rules, your

Protective hand and your protective lens.

But most of all I miss the future that you cannot see,

The future that you’d still be part of if you were still with me.

I have yet the strength to admit that

One day you’ll be a distant memory.

No.

Not just yet.
