A poem by Abby about one of her colleagues.
MISSING YOU.
Though there is now distance between us
You're always here in my heart
Mere space cannot separate us
I long to hear your voice, see your smile, tease you
Relax and just laugh awhile
Talk things over
Just be together, no need for words, each simply who we are
We share a past not often spoke of
Tragedies and celebrations, successes and failures, yours and mine
All made the better with you by my side
Knowing what to say and when or sometimes the value of silence.
I close my eyes for a moment and it's as if nothing's changed
I feel your comforting presence and I know what you would say
So I smile though my heart is aching and know I'll be O.K.
For that is what you would want and what we have will never go away.
