There is no preparing
for the facts
admittedly cold
and so very, very hard
The mind argues
we just had yesterday
sobered by the irony
of knowing
the one thing
that is, by its very existence
the most real
has us floating in the numbness
of disbelief and denial
We will survive the ache
we will learn to fill the space
we will remember
and tell stories with laughter
that will end
with soft, distant looks
we will find happiness
through the doubt
and we will do this
for Mike
But first we will feel
and make room
for grief
knowing
that in love’s time
we will go forward
greater than we were
better
for having known
another
