To my Mom

Where would you go that I cannot follow?
For how long must I wait until we meet again?
What would I do in times that I miss you?
Where would I go in times when I long to see you again?
How must I spend the nights without you?
How do I bear each morning that you’re not there?
Shall I ever smile again?
Will I ever laugh again?
Will I ever face the world again knowing that I'm not alone?
Why must you leave me?
Why must I cry these tears when you’re not here to wipe them all away?
Why must I suffer the empty days without my beloved?
Why must I dream without you by my side?
The days shall never be the same again
I will never be the same again without you
The life of my soul, the joy of my heart, the light in my eyes,
The hope of my dreams, the comfort of my lonely nights.
Without you my beloved, I grieve and cry,
I grope and stumble in the dark,
I weep with all my soul, I desire with all my heart
I let go of all of me that you took away with you
I keep all of you that is in me, and will always remain in me
Wherever I may go.
I wait and pray and hope
I will look forward to each brand new day
Thankful for all that I’ve had and will always have
Thankful for the sun that shines again
Believing and hanging on
Believing that life will go on, it can’t help but go on
It shall go on and in so going there really is no end
Only mornings and evenings
And life that never ever ends.

It's been nine months since I've read this post and the emotions that the words portray are still the same. I've copied it into my palm pilot so I will forever have this with me.

It's beautiful and obviously has been written by someone who has experienced the loss of their soulmate.

Only mornings and evenings and a life that never ends.
