Empty

Do you ever get that empty sadness feeling? I'm not talking about just being sad, but that feeling that hits you deep down in your gut and holds onto you. You can't cry hard enough and after the tears dry up you get that glassed over stare and everything feels as though it is in slow motion. If it weren't for blinking you would actually swear that time stood still. Have you ever missed someone so bad that you would be willing to give up everything you have just to see them one more time? You close your eyes in a desperate search to remember their face, their laugh, their touch. You wonder how your path in life would be different if they were still in it and how you wish you had told them "I love you" just one more time or given up just a few more minutes to be with them. Could you ever imagine their never being another tomorrow? No more tears to cry, no more laughter to share, no more love to give, no more time. Take the time today to cry until your sadness is overcome with the calm realization that it is okay to do so. Enjoy the slow motion aftermath, for in today's world it comes too seldom. Allow yourself to feel the loss of those who have come and gone. Let the strength of their memory stand as a reason, even if it is the only one, to take every chance to let those around you know how much they mean to you. Let no moment go by when you don't take the opportunity to share a smile, a hug or an 'I love you' with those who are important in your life. You never know what moment on this earth will be your very last so make every one count! Thanks for listening to my midnight ramblings...
