Anticipation

Fond memories.... thankfully, they stay with us. Sometimes they deeply hurt us because we sense their loss, but I never want to let them go.

Anticipation

 

this morning

i walked our old

running loop

5 miles it was

we ran it for

years

later

we set off 

together but in

opposite directions

you with Mocha

and me tackling the 

big hill

half way

we always

met

this morning

i found myself 

there 

once again

looking for

you

anticipating our

familiar

meeting spot

suddenly I realized

you would

not be

there

i stopped

breaking into 

a deep deep

cry 

sobbing

you would never

be here

nor would you 

be

ever 

again

then (thinking 

of you)

i kept

walking.
