I’m grieving you before I’ve lost you because I know it’s coming. I know it’s coming because I’m familiar with unwanted silences, uneasy pauses, the calm before the storm, and long sentences contrived of weightless words.
I’m grieving you before I’ve lost you, because weightless words can still feel heavy, and I can feel the pull of a lever pushing too hard, and us over the edge.
I’m grieving you before I’ve lost you because I’m imbalanced and I’m reminded of it time and time again as I lose all sight of what it’s like to keep and be kept, love and not lose, and gain without excruciating pain.
I’m grieving you before I’ve lost you because its painful to learn we’re on borrowed time. There is a chapter one, followed by a chapter two, a climax at chapter nine and the great demise at forty five.
I’m grieving you now because it will be easier than grieving you tomorrow, when I know that I am one day closer to before the day I lose you.
