Holiday

This time last year was all about you.

Your smile. Your laugh. The way your arms felt safe.

This time last year we were planning our new life. Laying the foundation for our dreams.

Our home. Our family.

This time last year was full of laughter, promise and love.

And when the end came all to swiftly thereafter, we lay in ruin.

The dust has now settled and the world continues to spin.

We have bandaged our scars and the bleeding has stopped.

We no longer talk as friends or lovers do.

But, my heart aches still for this time last year.
