not really alone

"I miss you extra today." she said as she walked

through the sand and allowed the tears to fall.

The  ocean was their place & she had loved
being there with him. Here he had asked her
to be his forever. They had lived & played
 & laughed  & carved their names in the sand.

It was hard to breathe without him today.

She talked to him as she walked & told him

how she  missed  him & wished he could walk with her.

She felt him  tell her that he was there;

that he was always there when she needed him.

She felt him tell her how he loved her

& that it  would  be  worth  it.

And although she could no longer see his face

she could feel his love lift her

and carry her along as she walked...

and she knew she was not really alone.

I love you my boy
