Pieces of You

You're gone

My heart's broken

But not shattered anymore

I've been picking up the pieces

When I noticed a few extra you forgot behind

It hurt

We talked

It still hurts

But it's better

The pieces comfort me now

Fragments of speech,

A song or three,

Memories I wouldn't trade for the world,

Experiences that will form someone new

When all the shards come back together

I'll make sure to add yours

Because there will be pieces of you in me always

And despite everything

I'm grateful for that
