I used to say I’d miss you every day,
I used to say I didn’t know how I’d go on,
I didn’t think I would ever breathe again,
the ache was debilitating and real.
But then more life just happened, just like that,
and like a lot of water rushing in to fill empty spaces,
it washed the sadness and grief away, and
even though I never expected it to happen, I lived,
and even though everything in my life is different,
everything in my life is now different and new,
without you in it, I would never have dreamed that.
I never dreamed of this happening to me, but
it did, and I’m sorry my life now
doesn’t look like you.
