Your breath stopped
Tears flowed
It's so hard to understand
Harder to let go.
Six days since we last spoke
When you said you were at peace
Even joked.
We planned a "last supper",
Shared so many thoughts,
Then I said, "I love you!"
You replied with a heart
As mine broke.
Your concerns were on those
You'd leave behind.
The woman you loved,
Your brother,
Family, friends.
The cats need good homes.
But all I could think about
Through an avalanche of sighs.
Was how much I was going to miss you
And how damn much I hate goodbyes
Done in clearly understandable language. I appreciate that.
