Healing Poem by Sasha Claire Beckains

I never realized how much
I needed you until you were gone.
Until I left...
But leaving didn't mean that
I stopped caring...
I will always care...
I will always love you...
And you will always hold a
Place in my heart.
You gave me so much to remember
You by...
The songs that played...
The places we went...
The cuddles every night...
The gentle kisses in the early
Morning before you left for work.
And just because I walked away,
Doesn't mean that I wanted to leave...
I'm trying my hardest every day to
Live my life without you...
And sometimes I think I'm never
Going to make it...
But every time I wake up, it's
Just another reminder that I'm still
Alive; as much as my heart hurts.
It's going to take time to forget...
To forget what we had...
What we went through...
But one day, all this pain
Will just be a memory...
And one day...
I'll forget you...
But when I do, I hope you
Don't remember me.
