I can be walking in an aisle at a supermarket and I feel our presence. I will check and notice you're not there knowing you should not be there I still check. Maybe one day you will wake and not be dead. Your shadow lingers over my heart trying to break me apart since I could not speak with you one last time. You said you have not forgotten me but I did not care I had an aching longing to speak more with you. Though I know you were ill your shadow carried with me even when I left. I dreamt of your shadow growing and my wedding day with the longest tail on my wedding dress. I knew something was off once I saw the ambulance lights but heard no sound and awoke from my dream. I was embraced by him and felt like crying but thanking him for holding me. Then the call came your shadow grew big and the news came through that you were gone but you were there with me in my dream and there lingering over my side. I had to get back and make sure the shadow was yours and let you be put to rest. So I left.
