Since You’ve Gone Away

 I realize the time to miss you is now endless, reaching to eternity, but luckily for me I won’t be here that long.

I found out that the garbage and trash pickup days are endless, too, reaching to eternity.

I discovered that I am old.

I suspect that I will run out of money long before I run out of me.

I observe history, as recounted by younger generations, who weren’t there, get a lot of it wrong. 

I no longer have a love for travel if you can’t come along.

I think I am a great deal more patient. I can afford to wait at traffic lights.  After all, what’s the rush?

I enjoy spending my time around my pets because they don’t understand and they don’t judge.

I feel as though I have lost my place in the world.

I never thought you would die.
