day 8:365
maybe if i could forget the color of his casket
or what he wore the day he was buried
or how swollen his hand was while he was in intensive care
or the look on his face
or the voicemails on my phone from him that i would listen to months after his transition
maybe if i could forget the last words he spoke to me,
or if i could remove the ache that wont heal from the pit of my chest
maybe you would understand that i am just a woman healing
but still worthy of being loved.
