Standstill

One of the things about grief which mystifies her is how fast time goes by yet at the same time seems frozen on the day. 

In her mind it feels as if it has been an eternity since she has seen him yet it also feels as if she was just with him yesterday. 

It is crazy to think it has been as long as it has been yet it makes her feel good to know the memories are not fading.  No matter how long they have been apart, it still feels as if it was yesterday she last saw his handsome face, amazing smile and listened to his laugh. 

She hopes it always feels like yesterday that she felt his arms around her. Snuggling into his body smelling the faint scent of old spice on his skin and kissing him. 

She is now living in a world where time goes by yet standstills, another new normal she is faced with.
