It Starts Small

It starts so small Is it the day that gets me this way It starts out so small and doesn’t go away And it doesn’t mater what I do or say I picture you smiling like it was yesterday So here I am again with a tear Sitting alone feeling you near They say it will get better and I hope it will All I know is I love you and I need you still I try to keep busy to fill my day To make it through it’s the only way So here I am laid so bare It is the only way to know I care. © Paul Warren Poetry

Sadness mixed with fortitude to go on. Your poem is heartbreaking yet also an inspiration, to carry on living as you know she would have wanted. Its not wrong to enjoy a bit of life now, its not disrespectful, it doesn't say I have stopped loving, I am sure she would like to see a smile form time to time. She isn't gone, her memory is still right there, A beautiful poem Paul. Best wishes.
