My mind says he's gone

my heart says no.

I look for him

I listen for his voice

I miss sharing my day with him

I miss his endearing words

I miss his wisdom

My heart says he is here

My mind says he's not.

I cook, but can't eat

The food chokes me.

I can't sleep

I cry when I hear a certain song

I cry when a memory comes through

I cry out of loneliness

My mind says he's gone

My heart says it's not so.
