I missed you quietly today. So quietly that no one noticed.
I missed you as I climbed out of bed and as I brushed my teeth; when I waited at the lights on the drive into work and as I heard the rain outside my window.
I missed you as I ordered lunch and as I kicked off my shoes when I got home; as I switched off the lights and climbed into bed for the night.
I missed you without tears or noise or fanfare.
But oh how I felt it.
I felt it in the morning, at lunchtime, in the evening and at night. I felt it as I woke, as I waited, as I worked. I felt it at home, on the road, in the light, in the dark, in the rain.
I felt it in every one of those moments, each one sitting heavier and heavier as the weight of me missing you kept growing and growing.
Yes, I missed you so quietly today but it felt so loud

We thought of you in love today
But that is nothing new
We thought about you yesterday
And the days before that too
We think of you in silence
We often speak your name
Now all we have is memories
And your picture in a frame
Our memory is our keepsake
With which we’ll never part
And now you are safe from harm
We have you in our hearts
Missing you both so very much 💗

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away
Gone far in to the silent land
Yet if you should forget me for a while
& afterwards remember
Do not grieve, for if the darkness and corruption leave a vestige of the thoughts that once I had
Better by far that you should forget and smile,
than that you should remember and be sad 💗
