Happy 9th

We would have been nine today. But we didn’t make it.

I dreamt of you last night. Not the you that you are now. But the you that you used to be.

You asked me if I was okay. You looked me over. Then you smiled at me and said,

“Not yet. Just a bit more.”

But I don’t know if I’ll ever be okay.

Happy 9th.

We would have been nine today.

But we didn’t make it.
