\u201cI am not gone.<\/p>\n
Not really. I haven\u2019t left you, not in the ways that truly matter.<\/p>\n
Close your eyes, and you will find me there, in the way your heart still knows mine.<\/p>\n
I have not gone far.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m just beyond the veil of what you can see.<\/p>\n
And what\u2019s absence after all but a trick of the eye?<\/p>\n
I am not where you can reach me anymore but I am where you can remember.<\/p>\n
Do not let grief turn my name into something heavy. Something you can\u2019t speak without feeling the weight of loss in your chest.<\/p>\n
Let my name stay light. Let my name live on in moments when you laugh, when you love.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t have to let me go, just carry me differently.<\/p>\n
Lightly. Gently.\u201d<\/p>\n
