You walked down the tree lined path, dirt and moss covered your shoes as you grabbed the cast iron gate. Opening it you walked around others till your feet stood in front of one.
Your love, your Tom. You bent down and brushed off the leaves from his tombstone. You laid down his favorite flowers on top and sat now in front of him.
You would always pretend like he was right there with you. Right there in front of you... sometimes you didn't have to pretend because it felt like he was actually there.
"Tom" you whispered and placed your hand on his name and closed your eyes. A single tear escaped your eye.
"Happy anniversary" you played with your hands. You told him about your day and your sister and brother. He loved talking to your brother the most even when he was with you. You laughed at the memories resurfacing.
"I miss you" you whispered again as you wanted no one to hear but you were the only one in the cemetery.
He'd always whisper things to you and you loved it. His voice calmed you down and helped you fall asleep faster. Now you can never sleep, your mind keeps you awake.
You sighed getting and saying goodbye. You walked back to the cast iron gate.
