Jim

By: Rachel F Connelly

I feel empty without, my best friend,
The person I love and will till the end.
He's a person, who touched the depths of my soul,
Letting go of missing him is my ultimate goal.

Then I won't have to miss his hand on my face,
And I won't have to miss the drive to his place.
I won't have to remember what it's like in his arms,
But letting go I think is beyond what is hard.

It's not having him to keep me from the fall,
And not being the "one" that I miss most of all,
It's not telling him my fears and about my day,
Not listening to his advice and seeing it his way.

He was the person I thought would never leave
He would always be the person on him I could lean,
Regardless if he will eventually in time
It's right now that I miss him, out and inside.

I want him to say I love you right now,
With work you and I can make it somehow,
No time needs to pass before we're together again,
I'm here right now and will be till the end.

But I know in my heart that "someday" will come,
When he wakes up and realizes I am the "one"
So for now I sit and hope for the day
That loving Jim will be without missing him this way.
