We did this dance twice.
I am pained both times.
The big emotional adjustment is how content I am with you
And how am I feeling now.
It is like my favorite author of my favorite character died
And I am not going to hear any more stories.
The perpetual cliff hanger.
I am going to miss your smile, laughter, sparkle.
And your friendship.
Especially right this season.
You were the last one I spoke to at night
The first one I thought of each morning.
It will take time for that to change.
