TO ALL WHO CARED, AND TOLD ME THEY CARED:

Love changes ordinary lives

into beloved lives.

Thus, my beloved,

you'll be mine

forever

to love.





Broken hearts are opened hearts.

all who look inside

know

that someday they

too

will feel

this loss

that is

felt

today.







All words now have new definitions.

All things now have new meanings.

Life is changed.

One life is missing.

Not "lost",

but "gone on

ahead/

waiting".
