I still kiss your picture when I miss you too much.
I hold it close, trace your face with my trembling fingers and pretend that just for a moment you’re still here.
I whisper your name into the silence. I replay your voice, your smile, the little moments I once thought would last forever. I cling to every memory because sometimes memories are the only way my heart can still feel close to you.
Then reality reminds me you’re gone, and no picture, no memory, no wish can bring you back.
I’ve learned to live with the emptiness you left behind, but I will never stop missing the person who made my heart feel whole.
I still kiss you, just not you.
And that may be the hardest part of losing you.

Hi Lucy I think we all do the same. That’s our reality hugging and kissing photos. I also draw around my wife’s cheek. And press the phone against my cheek.
Wishing you all the best Tom

Beautiful words, they speak to how I feel all the time. 51 weeks this evening, I remember it, like it was yesterday. My heart is broken forever
