My Last Day with You



My last day with you,
though a nightmare
turned truth,
is my last
favorite day.

Even now,
the best moments
comprise
a vacant place
where you ought to be.

But on that day
I held you,
embracing
the joy of a life
perfectly complete.

Until evening left me
crumpled
and broken…
arms empty…
unable to breathe…

Still,
I cherish that day,
though I wish
it could change,
since it was my last day
with you.

“Any day spent with you is my favorite day. So today is my new favorite day.”
