Yearning for you

"Yearning for you"
In the echoes of memories, I hear your gentle voice
Whispers of wisdom, a heartfelt, soulful choice
To survive, to thrive, to face each new day
Though your physical presence has faded away
Your nickname for me, "AB", a term of endearment true
Now a distant memory, a bittersweet reminder of you
Only you called me that, with a love so pure and kind
Now, in your absence, it's a heartache to leave behind
Every step I take, a journey through the pain
Finding solace in memories, like a summer rain
In the kitchen, a glimpse of disorder, a mess
Reminds me of your meticulous care, your love, your finesse
Your room, a sanctuary, a shrine to memories past
A place where tears fall freely, like a river that will forever last
Two months have passed, yet the ache remains
A grief so raw, so real, like an open wound that refuses to wane
Dinner time, a ritual, a moment to share
Now a painful reminder, a chair left empty, a space bare
I yearn to hear your voice, to see your loving face
But like a fleeting dream, you vanish, leaving an empty space
The word "mom" echoes, a trigger to my heart
A longing to rush to your side, to never be apart
But reality sets in, like a cold, harsh light
You're gone, and I'm left to navigate this darkest night
Unprepared, I was, for your departure, your goodbye
A loss so sudden, like a stormy sky
Yet, in death, your legacy lives on
A love so strong, a memory that will forever be sown
In every step, every breath, every tear I cry
I feel your presence, your love, your gentle sigh
Though you're no longer here, your spirit remains
A gentle embrace, a comforting peace that soothes my pains.
