365

On this day
Three hundred and sixty-five days ago
We sat in silence
and held hands
and sat in silence

On this day
Three hundred and sixty-five days ago
Tears ran down our cheeks
As we held each other
Tightly
Unconditionally

On this day
Three hundred and sixty-five days ago
The first day of the rest of our lives began
As I left your house that night

On this day
Three hundred and sixty-five days ago
You boarded the plane that took you
Where you belong
Where you wanted to be
Where you weren’t with me

On this day
Three hundred and sixty-five days ago
The distance between us grew
and grew
and grew

On this day
Three hundred and sixty-five days ago
Things would never be the same
As you left on this day

365 days ago.
