in your moment of darkness….
as the tears pour down your cheeks…
as your heart is twisted and wrung…
as the memories flash before your eyes…
don’t allow yourself to be emptied.
look past your tears, into the present.
don’t forget those who are near.
we’re all here but a moment…
don’t waste your time wishing for more.
don’t stop creating new memories.
embrace those you still have.
there are others who need your love.
they are starving for a fraction of the time
you have spent crying and remembering.
