you are in a better place,
that is truth.
The other truth is
I long for one more second
of seeing you smile,
hearing your laugh.
The last truth is,
I would still
want more of you.
They say
time is a healer,
and I know,
this pain will fade,
but for now,
I am wrapped
in your old blue robe,
smelling your scent,
and imagining you,
sitting here with me.
