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.
