I have lost you I know
I should buy some flowers
You liked them in the house
Would have had the place full
But still I dream of you
Thinking you are still here
Yes, they transform my flat
Have to keep them watered
It's not all shiny now
Don't dust the furniture
I miss the words you spoke
And listen to you breathe
It was so easy then
Not like the present time
My eyes water again
Don't object to cooking
Just being all alone
Another day goes by

Beautifully sad, OE. It is my hope to go before my husband. Selfish, I know, but I never want to feel that emptiness.
