An Evening in August

Did your soul forget the promises your body made that night?

Relapse

"I thought I was stronger..."

Before It Sets

Remember to kiss the sun before it sets, and remember to wish on three stars before bed.
Remember to tell the sun "Good Morning", and remember to take your pills before breakfast.
Remember to pack an apple for lunch, and remember to drink juice at brunch.
Remember the five dollars in your pocket, and remember the wine in the trunk.
Remember your coffee break at two, and remember your heels in the back seat.
Remember your yoga class at four, and remember to close the door.
Remember to wear your white dress to dinner, and remember to sip slowly.
Remember to mind your manners, and remember to ask questions.
Remember to make eye contact, and remember to hold hands.
Remember to make it home early, and remember to kiss the sun before it sets.

Tomorrow

"I know that you are at peace far away from here, but there are still things I am struggling with..."

Not Today

"...And when you are strong enough, we will walk through the valley."

Loss

Tell me when the sun sets.
I need to know when to expect the darkness.

Hold

Moments do not last forever.
I would know because you are not here anymore.
