Disbelief

The news hit me hard.

Although it was not directly related to me, I suppose

But nonetheless, it hit me.

Maybe it was partly because it was such a shock.

That only a few people saw this coming, 

I wasn't one of them.

Though it would have been just as stinging if I was forewarned.

This whole thing just seemed so bizarre.

Like at any moment,

I would get that sudden jerk, 

and wake up to a new day.

And know that everything was just fine.

As if all of this was just a dream.

That was the only way, it seemed, to explain this,

Because it just didn't seem real to me.

How I wished that was the case.

I was at a loss for words.

But it seemed like even if I did find the right words to say,

It would make it even stranger to me,

Hearing it out loud,

Reminding me that this really was real.

But maybe there weren't really any words for this

It happened.

It just happened.

I will never forget the way it felt.

The way I lost all feeling in my body, 

yet my head still pounded.

I was deaf with disbelief.

When I got the news, 

Only two words,

She died.

Awww, it was so beautiful and so sad. You captured a direct moment, which seemed to be very special in your life and showed it to us. It was as though you were holding a rose in the fingers of your hand and dew droplets slowly slid down the petals. Just so beautiful. Thank you for allowing me to be able to read this.

Thank you, once again,
