When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

I came across this grief poem and thought that I would share it with you all, it is written by David Romano. I know that it is sad but I think it also gives hope and also helps us realise that we have never truly lost our loved one

When tomorrow starts without me,
and I’m not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn’t get to say.

I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I’d have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I’d always thought,
I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I’d say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven’s gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,

He said, “This is eternity,
and all I’ve promised you”.
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day’s the same day,
there’s no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn’t do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you’re free.
So won’t you take my hand
and share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
don’t think we’re far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I’m right here, in your heart.

Stranger III

Aku bergegas pulang, mencuci rambut, mengenakan baju merah dan mencari celana hitam namun tidak berhasil menemukannya di mana pun. Sialan! Di mana aku meletakannya? Tak ada waktu lagi aku memutuskan untuk mengenakan rok hitam. Tersenyum pada diriku sendiri saat berdiri di depan cermin, stoking hitam dan sedikit make-up. Melirik jam, baru sadar sudah jam 18:45. Seharusnya sudah berangkat. Aku memutuskan untuk berjalan ke bar karena cukup dekat, hanya beberapa blok dari tempat tinggalku. Aku mungkin akan memesan minum untuk membuatku sedikit lebih santai dan menunggu Ris. Sesampainya di bar tepat pukul 07:00, aku disambut Sue di depan counter. Aku memesan anggur putih, melirik sekeliling, satu kelompok orang di sebelah bawah bar, beberapa orang di salah satu stand dan beberapa anak perempuan di sudut agak gelap. Ada lagi sekelompok perempuan di ruang sebelah kolam renang tapi mereka semua memakai pakaian hitam atau t-shirt putih. Duduk menunggu, senang bahwa Sue sedikit sibuk k...

Am I a lesbian?

At some point every lesbian asks herself the question: Am I a lesbian? But many heterosexual and bisexual women ask themselves the same question and come away with a different answer. So, how do you know if you are a lesbian or if you're just curious? If I only had a dollar for every time I've been asked this question, I would be a rich woman today! Struggling with one's sexual attractions is very common and not just with young people. I hear just as often from women who have been married 20 years or more. But at young age, relax and give yourself time to explore your feelings... I know many of you are looking for cut and dried ways to determine your sexual orientation. Perhaps a quiz you can take. If only it were that easy!! Unfortunately, determining your sexual orientation is not that simple. It is something that will take time and self-reflection to determine. Talking to a therapist or a lesbian coming out group may help. Some women identify as lesbian after having feel...

Saat Mereka Saling Mencintai

Mereka saling mencintai selama bertahun-tahun, terkadang bertengkar, untuk alasan-alasan yang sangat kekanak-kanakan, sangat sepele, dan juga sangat konyol. Namun mereka tetap bersama, entah karena cinta atau kebiasaan, yang kita, orang luar, tidak tahu. Terkadang orang-orang yang terlibat bahkan tidak tahu betapa mereka saling mencintai, jadi bagaimana orang luar seperti kita bisa memahami masalah-masalah abstrak seperti itu? la mencintainya lebih dari yang bisa dilihatnya, dan ia mencintainya lebih dari yang bisa ditunjukkannya. Mereka selalu berselisih, berdebat, dan merajuk. Setiap kali, ia menanyakan pertanyaan yang sudah tak asing lagi, "Apakah kau benar-benar mencintaiku?" Mereka berdua saling mencintai, bukan karena kepribadian mereka berbeda, melainkan karena mereka menyadari bahwa mereka terlalu mirip: keras kepala dan konservatif. Setiap kali mereka bertengkar, mereka diam, mungkin seminggu, mungkin sebulan. Mereka saling mencintai dengan cara yang berbeda, seolah ...
