LoveRemembered

a magical, beautiful, intense "once in a lifetime"relationship
the man I loved, liked, lusted over and was "in love"with
my lover, my best friend, my partner.
we believed this lifetime not our first together,
nor our last
a surreal existence for 10+ years
then came the day he still wanted to roam
while I wanted to nest, so...
I nested and he roamed
when the pain of separation became too much for him
he returned for a time, but..
the pull of "the other " always won out
first, his times with us were frequent and lengthy
then less frequent and of shorter duration
progressing to
"fly by night" visits
telephone calls from boston, copenhagen,london,chicago
cards, the odd letter from new york, cork, vancouver,dublin
maybe a message from a friend in sligo to say all was well
then a knock on our door the 23rd of december and it's your man
smiles, tears, kisses, laughter and
a hug so tight and strong with neither of us wanting to let go
we seemed to sense something was about to happen
I remember a moment that holiday
(one nevers remembers days, only moments)
we were laughing about something
but we were uneasy about the future
we laughed at our uneasiness
we thought it hilarious
but then
he died
January 26
I was in bits- a shrieking banshee struck a sudden and mortal blow
shivering violently from grief
a face as pale as a corpse
eyes red from crying enough tears to fill up an ocean(as Rory had said)
a lady gone mad with sorrow
now, it seems there are no longer any tears to shed, as
the whole grieving process was taken to the extreme
(me I never do anything by halves)
what's left are the bittersweet memories that will remain with me
forever
