Today we fast or shall I ever be able to think about you without crying?

 Today we fast. 

It's been a long road and you needed to rest.

You never really understood why I've stopped eating meat, 

or why I had cats and not babies. 

Never quite accepted why I didn't believe in god. 

But this is a small bitter pinch of nothing if you consider 

how much we got along and everything you taught me. 

You may rest, finally.

I will cherish you in every meal.

If you keep looking, it will never boil.

If you keep waiting here, it will never be frozen.

Let it go. 

But don't you forget.

I will.

Thank you.
