I talked to you yesterday
Even though you’re not here
I talked to you again today
And I will tomorrow too
You always had this way
Of just…
Listening
With your eyes
With your smile
With your heart
You had this quiet way
And I hope you don’t mind
But I am going to keep that
I’m holding that part of you
Safe and sound and tight
Inside of me to use for good
When I start to feel it fade
I will remember your laugh
Your kind encouragements
The way you lived to serve
And how you changed people
With your kind and gentle way
How you changed me
So yeah…
I will keep talking to you
Though I can’t see you
Because I can still feel you
In the best part of who I am

I never stop talking. It helps somehow. Knowing what they would say, knowing how fiercely they loved you.
Don’t ever stop. xo

I am so sorry for your loss. It is hard to let go of people who were so special to us. Keep holding on to that part.

Great poem on remembering a friend. I think it is perfectly acceptable and normal to talk to dead loved ones who have passed on. A way of bridging our world with our loved ones. Plus, it does make you feel better when you do as you suggest in your poem.

Beautiful tribute to special ones who die. I work in cancers and other diseases, and have unfortunately lost too many dear friends. This will stay in my files for the next time I lose someone (including family). Thanks.
