Until it was Time

Nobody told me
how much I would miss you
Maybe they assumed I knew
Common sense and all

But common sense is not
the same as preparation
And missing you is something
I couldn’t prepare for anyway

I suppose they were
trying to do me a favor
A way to enjoy time with
no thoughts of finality

If I even believe in time

Truth is, I already knew
No warning needed
I knew, just kept the
knowing buried deep

Buried deep
until it was time
to remember both
the happy and the sad

  1. Kelley, my heart feels your happy and sad. “”I knew, just kept the knowing buried deep”. Your words always have a way of touching my soul, dear friend. I’ve missed you so much. Sending love and hugs. No matter how much time proceeds (“If I even believe in time”–KM), your loss is felt along with the happy memories. β€οΈπŸ’•πŸ™πŸ»
