Wrapped in Remembering
When the ordinary moments become the hardest to carry
I am wrapped in remembering
Your smile
Your laugh
Your look
Your face
Your everything
I yearn to hear
Your sarcasm
Your laughter
Your encouragement
Your “I Love You”
Your VOICE
I long to see
Your handsome face
Your gentle eyes
Your strong hands
Your warm smile
I crave
Our conversations
Our walks in the park
Our quiet time in the backyard
Our discussion about what we are going to eat for dinner
Our stillness in the evening
The ordinary days
Are the hardest.
The mundane-
“Come as you are”,
Sit on the couch,
Watch a show together,
Clean the house together,
Go grocery shopping together,
Drink a coffee together….
Wanting you by my side
Just in the everyday
Those ordinary things
Are the hardest to handle.
Because the life
we built in the everyday
is now
a thousand quiet moments
where I am
wrapped in remembering.
