I miss you,
I've been missing you for some time now
for it has been some time now
since we last talked.

I remember how sad I was
even though I forgot how sad I was
for this little while.

I cannot say you healed me
nor that I am healed
I am not healed,
but I'm better.

I've been better for some time now
for it has been some time now
since we last talked.

You helped me so much
and I didn't realised how much
'til you were gone.

That's how it works, isn't it?
You do your thing
quietly, slowly, unpretentiously
and it works.

It works.
It worked for me.
And I thank you so very much,
my love.
