Missing You Affects Everything

Missing you affects everything.

 

My sleep,

My dreams,

My awake.

 

My past,

My today,

My future.

 

I’m living each day as best I can

because I know you would want that.

 

But life isn’t about just making it through a day.

It is about being and feeling alive.

 

I want to feel alive again.

 

So I need to take care of myself.

Go for a walk.

Talk to a friend.

Read a book.

Draw a picture.

Take a bath.

Cry.

 

Missing you affects everything.

 

I will try to embrace that,

knowing I can find a new way to live

with your help.
