Some things are so unthinkable
We don’t let ourselves think them
Some things are so well understood
We don’t see the need to say them
When two of those things collide
The pain can be overwhelming
And the backlash of our certainties
Can make us feel ashamed
But if you knew it in your heart
And showed it in your eyes
Then it was a well known fact
To the one who can no longer hear it
And if now you are forced to accept
Something before you couldn’t think of
The strength within you will come
From the one who you so loved
Days will pass and sometimes,
You will go half a day before
Something happens to remind you
And then you grieve anew
Some days the phone will be ringing
Before you remember there is not
Anyone to answer anymore
But your love will start to heal you
And when it does,
That is when you know
They always knew
What you didn’t need to say
And they will always
Be with you in your heart
And your memory
And your soul.
In memory of Jim Graham
