Crying at My Desk, I Write

 

Before your trips, you would write me letters. One for every day you would be gone, a little something to which I could hold on. I would open them carefully, ready to read your words. Each morning before school, so the missing you wouldn’t hurt.

And now I have no letters, no hidden little gifts. I only have this heart of mine, which continuously rips. I miss your words, I miss your thoughts, your hidden little gems. And even more I miss the way, I was prepared back then.

We didn’t see this coming, there was no long goodbye. One moment you were with me, talking and laughing, though I didn’t always know why. Your words were always comfort, a constant in my life. Now there’s only silence, the words are mine to write.

I want to do you justice, let your memory through me live on. It isn’t fair how little time we had, so few days to call you mom.
