Mourning

​Prompt: Every dead thing is in need of mourning

Goodbyes are inevitable 

It always hurts when you feel the absence 

Of something familiar 

Of people, of circumstances 

Of childhood in hindsight 

The death of innocence

The loss of childlike wonder 

Do we ever get it back?

I feel wonder when I look at beautiful things

At impossible sunsets

And landscapes that take my breath away

If I could relive anything 

I would have no regrets

Nothing that I would change

Because everything eventually brought me here

And here is good

Here feels like the possibilities are endless

And my optimism always find it’s way back to me

How could I mourn the loss of you

When it led to me finding myself

The most important person I’ll ever know
