Today, I cried inside

I’ve accepted that one day, you too, will die.

I know that I can and will survive.

Since you’ve shown me how to be in control throughout trying times.

What I don’t know is, how I will feel

when one day I’ll have to cope with

the woman who gave me my identity

no longer being here to hear me.

Avoiding does not change reality.

Your presence here with me is so sacred that

I can feel you with me even when you aren’t near.

I fear that your energy will leave with you

Even though I know it won’t.

I can still feel Grandude

after all this time that he’s been gone.

You are the mate to my soul

who understands me even when I don’t

You welcome all of my dreams

And protect me while I sleep.

You’ve been strong all of your life and you don’t get enough credit for it.

You’re the most beautiful person that I’ve come to know

And I will never let you go.

I love you.

Always in all ways.

-Your 1 & Only
