The Thought of You

What Comes Back

By Julie LacksonenPublished 6 months ago 1 min read
Author with late husband

Just about the time there is some semblance of normalcy,

The thought of you comes whimpering back to mind.

Our first conversations

Our first meeting

Our first touches.

It's a bittersweet moment.

You're with me again

but

you're

not.

*

Just when life seems to be on an even keel,

The thought of you comes floating back to mind.

Our laughs

Our common interests

Our time together.

It's a moving moment.

I feel you back with me

but

you're

not.

*

Just when life without you seems possible,

The thought of you comes rushing back to mind.

Like a movie in fast motion,

Our times flood by.

It's a touching moment.

These thoughts of you are

meaningful,

poignant,

sustaining.

You may not be with me.

but

you

are.
