Reunion–4pm

It’s been so long-
since she last saw him
so long since we said goodbye
Where did the time go?

She couldn’t live without him
She tried-
Oh she tried
But in the end-
she had to leave too

He’s had to say goodbye
how is that fair?
It was someone elses fault their
loved one is gone-
But he’s looking forward
to when they see each other
again

Can you even begin to understand
what these people feel?
what goes through their heads
when facing this situation

He’s old and in a nursing home
calling out for his wife
only to get shushed or comforted
by somone else
so he bides his time

She knows her time is near
and she’s been surrounded by
her legacy
she’s not going to cry
because she’s dying

She knows there’s going
to be tears when she’s gone
And she knows that they will
struggle to move on

She’s going to laugh
she’s going to shout
She’s going to be happy

for what a reunion that
will be
