I Pause

I turn to tell you about a fleeting thought

And I pause

Forgetting for a moment you’re gone

 

I hear a song on the radio you used to sing to

And I pause

Catching the lump in my throat

 

I see your picture

And I pause

Then let the tears flow

 

I pause to remember

I pause to forget

I pause for acceptance

I pause for love

 

I hear your voice

And I pause

Glad I hit the save button

Wishing I could have saved you…
