That Time

Smashed was the sculpture that symbolized togetherness.
Closed was the restaurant where we first met. Boxed were the letters that once said, "I cherish you".
Love and laughter echoed in the ruins,
Until it was silenced by dust.
The longing is not there anymore,
But my heart smiles when I remember that time.

    1. Fran, I had a dream about an old boyfriend (the one I wrote "The Taxi Cab" series for on my old blog)...It was a good dream, didn't leave me feeling loss this time)...writing this piece just reminded me how far I've come. So, yes, over him.

    2. And I did smash this beautiful sculpture that he gave me, but that was 3 years ago...when the grieving was still very heavy.

  2. Dear Stephanie, I've been away from blogging for over quite a while. I'm hoping that you are healing and that the grieving is becoming less. Peace.
