It’s been 293 days
since I’ve last heard your voice
and I have until the end of time
to hear it again

I make up conversations
in my head everyday, thinking
of what advice you’d tell me
you always used to foresee

Today I am alone
and today I miss you
I could have 60-70 years left
and every year, you won’t be here

You won’t meet my kids,
see me fail or succeed,
you were only in a portion of my life
because you are gone, so very gone

I have to tell myself everyday
that you have passed
because I’ll open my eyes happily
until I realize yours are closed
