My first untitled poem but in truth, the title is there for you to fill in with whichever name you wish. So maybe it is actually my first poem with many titles. Thank you to Adrian and Peggy who helped me find the clarity in the thought. 

( Read it slow and you might hear it. )

I thought there’d be an empty space
where you’d once been
but its full to bursting
with memories, good and bad,
tears, laughter, pain and joy.

I thought there’d be an empty space
but it’s filled with love
and sorrow.

I thought there’d be an empty space but
my head and heart are fighting for air
as they learn to know this
new way of you being here,
with me.
