A simple text from my cousin,
A silent vibration of the phone,
Began the process
Of goodbyes,
Of reminiscence,
Of regrets.
Today, I was faced with the choice
Of sending my living uncle off
Or sending the dead one onto his last journey.
I chose the former....
There r too many would haves
Could haves and should haves,
I don't want to have
Another one of these
And regret the opportunity lost
Of spending time with one
Who.is.still.breathing.
I shall holdfast to this moment
This fragile blink of an eye moment
That we shared.
To my uncle who passed away
I don't love you any less.
You know that.
Thank you for hanging on
For us to return
To say goodbye....
That meant the world to me.
