When You Lose Someone You Love

When you lose someone you love,

you wish for one more time

enjoying coffee with rich whipped cream,

the trust and sharing that togetherness brings,

the open door,

the delighted twinkle in the eyes

and smile when you are seen.

The little road trips 

to go to the store,

the soft place to fall,

the simply being in the same room

with nothing much to say at all

feeling welcome and dearly loved.

Oh how I wish that I could 

have done things differently.

When you lose someone you love,

life isn't the same.

I am so sorry dear friend

for all that has happened.

And I hope someday,

you can forgive me.
