Christmas.

on
She lied in a deep sleep.

I don't miss you all the time. I miss you when I feel your presence.
The church could be decorated with your smell, like it used to be.
The cars could linger within your presence, like they used to.
You're never gone to me, so there's no missing you.

This 12th January shall mark the beginning of the fifth year without you.

I am forgetting your face...
but it's not that that made me and you.

    12th January. I wish that the day vanishes for you. It's never easy to be the one left behind. Hope this year bring more of of joy to fill the gape. Happy new year in advance.

    Merry Christmas - and - A New Year Filled With Promise - I like the idea of knowing that there is the essence of knowing . . . that goes beyond appearance . . (from the last phrase, " am forgetting your face . . . . ")

    Oh, so many emotions in a very few words. I'd feel silly if I'll say everything's gonna be okay. So let me just say take your time. And that I hope this 2015 will be better than ever for you. :)

    Beautifully written. I feel this grief every holiday since my sister died five years ago.
