2 months and 2 days


When it first happened and weeks after you still felt close..

But now I'm starting to feel your distance.

Not a day I've gone without talking to you for years.

Now its been 2 months without any communication..


Sunday I met the nurse that was with you in surgery..

I didn't recognize her until I was told it was her.

Faces didn't matter that day, nothing mattered but you.

When I looked at her again,

the memory of that day hit me

like 20 football players tackling me.

I cried as if it were brand new..


I was jealous of this woman, whose name I do not know.

I am jealous.

She was beside you when I couldn't be.



I'm selfish.

I would bring you back kicking and screaming if I could.
