Remember When.... Poem by Stephanie J. Rivers

Remember when you used to talk out loud about all you wanted to accomplish still?
You would say, I'm going to do this like this and I'm going to go there
I used to say jokingly, don't talk into the air, it annoys me
You would say to me, someday you'll miss me talking into the air
And then you would laugh
And then I would laugh and we would share the laugh together
I used to think that day would never get here
That you would always be here to talk out loud about everything you wanted to do
Today, as I sit here working, I'm thinking about the times you would talk into the air
Today, you're not here
You've been gone now seven years
I miss hearing you talk
I miss telling you not to talk into the air
I miss sharing the laughs with you
I miss you
