Missing Larry

Today is the 8th anniversary of the passing of my soulmate and compadre, Larry. I think of him almost everyday in some way or another, and often I am moved to capture those thoughts on paper. Following is one such example...

It's been a long time, hey what can I say, since my world came crashing down that day. You'd think I'd recover with the passing of time; but no, I still cry at the drop of a dime. I've tried to move on with what's left of my life and not dwell in the memory of being his wife. I try to go forward to a new way, but it still breaks my heart, hey, what can I say? The high's aren't as high, and the lows are much lower, and when I get hurt I recover much slower. So now what to do to get through each day; still can't figure it out, hey, what can I say?
