Reminder
Reminder
You are a reminder of her death;
It’s time I started seeing you as a reminder of her life.
Time takes its toll as it takes every last breath,
But I am unworthy of passing judgment on you, her wife.
So I will no longer dislike being in your presence;
I shall accept the good side of this relationship
And remember the good times the three of us have shared.
I think it is time for us to rebuild this friendship.
In youth we are learning and in old age we repent;
It is too late now to say the words that I should have said.
But maybe with you I will have a second chance;
Another day to say sorry and tell you of my regrets.
Your love is your own and her love was a beaming light;
In the darkest of nights I still see her smile.
She passed through this world and lived too fast to die;
But we shall always have the memory of her
And she will always be at our side.
