the defense

you don't understand

just because
he's not here

doesn't mean
he doesn't live
in my heart

just because
he isn't nest to me

doesn't mean
we don't progress

we talk
and text

email
and write

send pictures
and videos

watch movies
and shows

we share
every part
of our lives

the parts
we wish
we couldn't do

the parts
we wish
we could do
to-gether

and the parts
we think
we can do

in the future

when life
will be stable
and the storms
will pass

and all
that will be left
is the sun

a beach

and a chance
for release

from all the hell
ahead
