I felt this. I am sure she is there waiting.

Powerfully penned, Tim. Grabbed me by my heartstrings my friend. Appreciate you.

This is a tender and heartbreaking piece.

The rhythm and rhyme carry the weight of grief so gracefully, and the final stanza is especially powerful. offers such a moving sense of hope and reunion – it’s both sorrowful and comforting at the same time.

How do I go back to edit a typo ?

I hope the tea still retained some flavor.
AS Tom Petty sang, “the waiting is the hardest part.”
This poem shows real love and patience with a long term relationship.
They can work…I was in a couple of them…eventually it became too much…but for quite some time, we hung in there.
I feel the emotion of this.

Thanks Jacob much appreciated it’s really fiction for me but it’s more about grief waiting to see in next life
Great site loving it 😊 thanks 🙏

So wonderfully simple even if fictional.

Welcome aboard the Starsite Enterprise.

Ah, the active waiting while also having to move on with the life you still have. When you truly love someone, they stay in your heart forever, and you perfectly captured that here.

It’s funny how when they’re alive and they go to the store or some other mundane chore, some may never think about them. And yet when their departure is permanent we can’t get them out of our minds.

That awfulness of waiting Julie, and then the realization that it is permanent. Grief is all consuming, but eventually it softens. Life goes on, but how difficult it can be to navigate without a loved one. Relatable words.
