I'll wait here hidden behind your happy thoughts, biding my time while you smile and laugh. I mingle in your every breath. and feel your air rush through my fingers knowing that one day I will close my fist. No one will see it coming. Not even you. Only in the moment of cognitive constriction will you realize it's finally over. |
"You are important to me." Your words stop my thoughts. They aren't a plea or a platitude. I didn't solicit them. You didn't buy them in card. They are a statement, a declaration that came straight from your heart, meant only for me. Thank you |
| Stop chasing the horizon. Don't you know by now that it can never be reached. It's a vision, a vista of broad blue skies and glorious sunsets. It's a dream, a deep breath meant to inspire, not be fulfilled. |
| Seven years ago today I watched as she took her last breath. The laboured sound that had wheezed for hours, suddenly stopped. It was over. And in that instant everything about her became a memory. I miss you Mom. |
