Time makes it harder,
I wish I could remember;
but I keep your memory,
you visit me in my sleep.

I hope the angels know what

in heaven since you arrived.

Swear that I can still feel you here, I just can’t believe you’re not here. I’ve been needing you, All I dream is you... Don’t think I can make it, I don’t think I can make it, But then I hear you say that I “better not do nothing crazy Cause your mom really needs you, And I would never leave you, Cause I am in the stars, And everywhere you are. And every single little moment, Every single bit of sunshine, just Know that I am right by your side” Know that you are right by my side, So I’m gonna make you so proud, You don’t ever have to worry bout me.

“
Dreaming of you
is like listening to the song
inside of a seashell,
you can’t see the waves
or smell the salt,
but its call can make you feel
like you’re right there by the ocean.
I know you’re not really here,
but when you miss a thing this badly,
even the illusion is enough.
—b.t., SEA SHELL SONGS.

A LIST OF THINGS THAT HURT
1. Calls that go to voicemail
2. Seeing a stranger who looks like you
3. Fresh flowers in cemeteries
4. Dreams in which you’re still alive
5. Waking up from them

Yesterday, I woke up from a nap to a world without you in it. I thought it was a joke, but there was very little setup... I’m never going to get the punchline, but I keep trying to.

I often wonder how good of a granddaughter I was. It bothers me to the point of tears sometimes. I don't know if I could have been better but I think it's a possibility. Did I ever seem moody when all you were doing was being kind? Were there times I failed to smile at you, hug you as tightly as you hugged me, appreciate any of the gifts you gave me on holidays? Did you ever think I didn't want to be with you all those times I turned down going to the bay house on weekends? Did I ever come off as reluctant and unwelcoming when you spent the night and I had to share my room? Did I ever sound disinterested or eager to hand off the phone to Mom when you called and rambled good naturedly? Did I ever comment with even a hint of criticism on something you worked hard on or something that was an innate part of you? Did I ever ruin your day, deeply upset you when I did something mildly inconsiderate or childish? I remember the last argument we ever had, when I had said in a melancholy tone that I felt I had a boring life and no friends, and you got frustrated and yelled and ranted that I was failing to see the good things I have and that I wasn't going out of my way to bring change, and I know this fiery indignation was because you loved me and wanted me to be happy and hated that I felt so down. All you ever did was help me and think about me and look after me. Did I return the favor? Did my efforts match yours? Did you always know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you were an amazing and irreplaceable part of my life, just as I knew I was to yours? I keep telling myself if you did have any doubts they must've surely been erased when you saw how I couldn't hold back my tears when I looked at you in the hospital bed that first time, or when I talked to you on the phone and said I miss you through a sudden outburst of tears because I was already thinking ahead to this time, when I would be without you forever, or how I took off work without hesitation so I could have more opportunities to visit you. But I don't know if I'm just kidding myself. I wish I could find out for sure. I wish I could get a sign right now that you know, that you always knew. I hope I never failed you, and if I did I hope you forgive me because I'm not good at forgiving myself.
I'm so sorry Maw Maw.

‘Tis a fearful thing
to love what death can touch.
A fearful thing
to love, to hope, to dream, to be –
to be,
And oh, to lose.
A thing for fools, this,
And a holy thing,
a holy thing
to love.
For your life has lived in me,
your laugh once lifted me,
your word was gift to me.
To remember this brings painful joy.
‘Tis a human thing, love,
a holy thing, to love
what death has touched.

Sadly, sometimes the people who take permanent residence in your heart will be the ones who walk very temporarily with you in your life.

What's gonna be left of the world
if you're not in it?
Every minute and every hour
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more.

can’t look at the stars — they
make me wonder where you are;
stars, up on heaven's boulevard.

my [grand]mother moved out
of her body
decided it
was no longer worthy
it couldn't contain her laughter
she couldn't obey the house
rules of human
her spirit
that young & fresh fever
wanted to call the night her dance club
wanted to try on new clothes
stay out later
my [grand]mother now wears the world
dresses herself with the tall grass
blushes her cheeks with red clay
she laughs & a forest fire awakens
she laughs & every mountain bows
to her sharp thunder
she laughs
& each cicada begins to sing
last night Saint Paul was cloaked in steam:
fog traveled from some distant heat
no, i think
you've got it all wrong
someone must have asked my [grand]mother
to dance
—DEATH AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT A SONG

I miss the colors that you brought into my life:
your golden smile, those blue-green eyes. And I miss your gentle voice at lonely times like now, saying it'll be alright.

A great big bang and dinosaurs, fiery raining meteors: it all ends unfortunately... But you're gonna live forever in me, I guarantee, just wait and see. Parts of me were made by you, and planets keep their distance too; the moon's got a grip on the sea, and you're gonna live forever in me.
