I have not forgotten.
I have not given in.
I have not gone away.
Neither, have I stayed.
I haven't wallowed.
I haven't died.

I did cry.
I did ache.
I did carry on.
I did remember.

Time does not cease,
even as the pain does ease.
Your face has dimmed
in my memory.
But not your legacy.

My love has grown,
my love has changed,
your love continues,
its' sweetness remains.

I hold tightly,
some days...
and I let it slide through
my fingers on other days.

No matter how I hold on,
your gone.
And yet,
you never really left.

That's the part
that I remember
the
best.
