I Remember..

By Kristina Grahn

 

6 months..

That is all he had.

Which was actually 5.

The aching feeling I got

When I was told still remains

When I see his picture, or I hear

His name slide out of someone's mouth.

The warmth he gave my heart when he squeezed me.

The Old Spice he wore use to linger on my clothes.

The one I always ran to as a little girl with all my troubles

And he would always make them disappear- like a magic trick.
