Grieving for a Loved One

[FixXxer]

Losing a loved one is never fun,
feeling lost, in a world without a sun.

Going to any place, I am constantly reminded of your face.
Everything I see, makes me wish you were still here with me.

How I wish I could see your eyes, they made me feel so much love inside.
I really want to hear your voice, it's really hard to accept I don't have that choice.

Any wrong you have ever done, I forgive. I just want for you to live.
It really hurts my heart. I never wanted us to be apart.

But anytime I don't feel great because this loss has me blinded,
I start to focus and meditate, and slowly I am reminded.

You never really went away, you became more a part of me in every way.

You will live forever in my memory and in my action.
Always knowing it would bring you satisfaction.

With me you are always around, even if I cannot hear your sounds.
Your love will endure, because it was always so pure.

It is easier to sleep at night, knowing I will never leave your sight.
I thank you for your life and your lessons, it always felt like a blessin'.

A life lived without regret, is one your loved ones will never forget.

WOW! Oh I have no words, actually this reminded me of a tribute poem about Allen Rickman who passed away in 2016, along with many other greats that year. It's not my work but I will quote because it so reminds me of this poem on fanfiction dot net.

In Memoriam

I dreamt last night of my teacher.

I was searching for him for I had questions.

But I couldn’t find him.

I called to him but he didn’t answer because he was gone.

I called to him but he was silent and I missed him.

I missed the strength of his presence,

the reliability of his knowledge,

the solidity of his person,

the steadiness of his gaze,

and the sound of his voice.

I called again, and slowly, in his own time, in his own way, far away, invisible, he answered.

Yes, he said. What is it?

His voice answered.

Where have you gone? I asked. I need you.

Are you sure? He answered.

Yes, I said. I have questions for you.

You, the hope and the despair,

the right and the wrong,

the light and the dark,

the question and the answer.

What do I do?

You carry on.

How?

You keep asking the questions.

But, what is the answer?

I’ve shown you the answer:

The hope, the despair, the right, the wrong, the light, the dark.

All of it. The answer is all of it. Always.

The answer is Love.
