GARY FISH
MOVING ON
One day ends
Then another begins
Put them together
They add up to a week
Then a month
And finally a year.
The days at first were taken up with thoughts and memories
Thoughts and memories of what we used to be
Of what we were.
At first I couldn’t have imagined moving on alone.
But gradually things change,
Hours go by
Then a day goes by
Without you constantly being present in my mind.
I start to think of the future
Realizing it’s about me,
As you are no more.
Guilty at first
But this lasts briefly
As the now is the moment
And that’s where I am.
The nights are no longer as long,
I look forward to tomorrow.
I can see a future
