Life goes on

The truth is, yes I could live without you.

The sun would still rise and the birds would still come out and sing in the morning.

The rain wouldn’t cease to fall and the wind would be a constant reminder that life goes on.

I would wake up each day and still make my coffee black.

I would still listen to the same sad songs as I drive to work down the same backroads.

But, I wouldn’t feel normal.

I would wake up feeling empty and even though I would still make my coffee black, it’s bitterness would linger on my tongue in ways it never did before.

The birds would still sing but their melodies wouldn’t sound so sweet or cheerful, instead they would croon over the times gone by.

And the rain would still fall, only this time, taking me with it.

And the wind?

Well, like I said, it’s a constant reminder that life goes on.
