Those dreaded waves of grief…

They hit me again today,

those dreaded waves of grief.

They stopped me in my tracks,

I questioned my beliefs.

Just as I thought I was healing

and on the upward turn.

Emotions came flooding back

and the reality you won’t return.

I feel a tear forming,

it trickles down my cheek,

But then I stop to remember,

this does not mean I’m weak.

The way that I feel now,

the hurt I’m going through,

Is a testament to the bond we had,

the love I have for you.
