Sometimes I forget

Sometimes I forget the hours, all the years between us
I forget the lost days that have all passed us by
I have no memory of no longer chances and empty spaces
For a while is forgotten the passing of our time.
Sometimes I forget, and you are here beside me
I turn to tell you of all my hopes and fears
There is confusion, for a moment, then comes floods of memory
and I am engulfed by an avalanche of grief and tears

I feel that when we truly love someone, and their body leaves our side, they still will always be beside us.

I'm certain she haard your words, as you are also beside her.

So beautiful and heartfelt.
thank you for sharing.

I understand. Even after 7 1/2 years - I still walk into the living room and look towards my Mom's chair to say something to her and she's not there. I wrote a poem "Empty Spaces" which is also on here. I think you can relate to it as well.

Take care.

6 years on and it still catches me out occasionally.
I came to terms with it years ago but then Wham!! my own subconscious T bones me.
Putting my thoughts and feeling down as words helps,and if any one else like my doggerel that makes it worth a bit of pain.
As I say If the pain of losing her was the price I had to pay for the time we did have, it was a price I gladly paid.
