Missing You

As Chrismas draws closer, the sadness deepens as I miss you with all my heart.
I decided to ask Carol to be my guest at the office Christmas party, the same one you and I have attended for 36 years.  I never cared to go, while you were chomping at the bit to get dressed up, socialize and dance the night away.  Now, this year, I attend the same party with my sister in tow, seeing the same people, some with that look of pity on their face.  And as the music plays, it tears at my heart for we would be the first ones and sometime the only ones on the dance floor.
I just wanted to scream, and who can I tell?  No one.  For no one will listen, no one will understand.  No one knows just how much I miss you, I yearn to hold you, smell you, feel you and be with you.  And the worse part of it all is that I can't.  It all sucks big time, I tell you.  Big time!
I love you Dick, with all my heart.  I still can't comprehend at times that you are really gone.  It just seems like yesterday that I heard your voice, I kissed you goodnight, and we talked about our future.  Just yesterday.
