How do I live without you?

 

Oh my love I do not.

You are with me from the moment I open my eyes until they close.

And even after that,

on the plane of dreams where mortals and souls meet,

you are with me still.

“I have not yet learned to live without you,

and perhaps I never will,

the truth of the matter is,

you are always with me still.”

You walked such a blazing pathway, when your feet were on this earth, that your imprint lingers on and I place my own feet in your steps, one by one.

How do I live without you?

It’s really very simple.

I do not.

“I have yet to live without you

perhaps I never will,

perhaps the key to grief is,

you are always with me still.”
