there are moments when you feel complete.
the moment bonnie comes home from school
and she has a giant, unbreakable smile on her face.
the moment jessie takes your hand for the first time
since the first time, and you can't stop smiling.
the moment you watch bonnie leave for her first
day of first grade and you feel sad, and you realize
that you are coming to love her.
but then you realize no one,
no one,
could ever replace andy.
and you look under your boot,
and there is his name, right there.
his claim on you, his mark,
the mark that won't ever leave,
because there's a reason that marker is called permanent.
and suddenly it doesn't matter—
you will never be complete without him.
and so you wait, and wait, and wait,
but he never comes for you.
he will never come home,
and you will never be complete.
