Missing You Comes in Waves

“Hello darling. I miss you more than you could ever know. It’s been two years and I still think about you every day. Some days are better than others. There are times when I can go out and laugh and finally live again. Then there are days where it takes everything I’ve got just to get out of bed.” I stared out across the empty, gray lake which expanded nearly as far as the eye could see. The faint outline of the pines was barely visible on the horizon. Despite the howling wind, the water appeared motionless. It was eerie how dead the lake felt, but I guess that was fitting in a way. I wiped another tear from my cheek.
