Some days I feel your absence
like a shadow on my chest—
a quiet, heavy tenderness
that time has not addressed.
My hand still lifts without me,
seeking yours in empty air;
memory moves my fingers
to a place you’re no longer there.
Yet somewhere past the rainbow,
on a bridge I cannot see,
I know your paw still reaches
just as gently back for me.
So no, I’m not okay yet—
but I’m learning, step by step,
that love like ours doesn’t vanish;
it simply lives where hearts are kept.
And until the day I find you
in the light we both once knew,
I’ll keep reaching through the silence…
because a part of me
still walks with you.
