I Hope There's Love in Letting Go

Marley

Marley, 
I can hardly 
say your name, 
even now. 

Marley, 
hope you know 
this wasn't how I 
planned for things to go. 

Marley, 
in all this space, 
I've kept a place 
for you to stay. 

Marley, 
I'm so sorry 
that we never 
got goodbye. 

Marley, 
I can hardly 
survive a 
single thought of you. 

Marley, 
Hope you know 
losing you 
cut me in two. 

Marley, 
in all this space, 
I look for you 
in every trace. 

Marley, 
I'm so sorry 
that we never 
got goodbye. 

Marley, 
I'm so sorry. 
I still miss you 
all the time. 

Marley, 
I'm so sorry. 
Swear you 
never leave my mind. 

Marley, 
I'm so sorry. 
Promise you 
always will be mine. 

Marley, 
I'm so sorry. 
I love you 
as long as time.   

'Marley' - 11/02/23.
Promise you always will be mine.

For my baby boy who turns 12 today. I lost him when I lost Mackenzie, but it's a little different. He was stolen from our family and the people who found him refused to give him back. It's been 6 years and I'm still not even the tiniest bit heald from it, and I honestly won't ever be.

It's so hard to say his name or even look at a photo of him, but I feel so guilty if I don't. And I'm not sure they'll ever be anything in the world that will ever break my heart quite like losing Marley and Mackenzie.
