I almost text you today.
For a moment, I forgot you were gone.
I forgot that we can’t do that anymore.
I forgot that our conversations
are one-sided and our time
was cut short when your life was.
I forgot that you’re not here.
I think it’s my heart’s pursuit
to keep you alive- to keep our
relationship alive in ways that only
love can after death.
It doesn’t matter that days
and months
and years
have gone by without you-
I almost text you today.
And when I remembered I couldn’t-
I lost you again.
