I Can Hear you Whisper - by Sandy Goodman
I CAN HEAR YOU WHISPER
In the mornings
I reserve my drive time
To say hello to you
And to feel you surround me
With your violet eddy of emotions.
In the beginning, a hundred years ago (or was it yesterday?),
My trips to town were for crying,
For screaming,
For asking you over and over and over again
WHY YOU HAD TO LEAVE,
But now it's different.
Now we share the sunrise.
We listen to music,
We reach for love,
I talk . . .
About your brothers, about work, about what I need to do next.
You listen.
And sometimes,
If I am really really quiet
And the sky is especially beautiful
I can hear you whisper.
I didn't know before
That love could be this strong,
And I only know it now
. . . Because you left.

"is griefshare a website like this?"
"Kali
I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"
It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
