I took off your ring

I took off your ring today.
For 17 months it has been next to my wedding band
Two rings on my finger
Reminding me
I am yours
Forever.

Today - it sits alone
And on my finger
Only one ring
It is lonely
As I am
For you.

Tommy -
I miss you.
But I wonder
Can I go on forever clinging to you?
Holding to a past that will never be again?
Sometimes - I think so.

But for today -
I will walk alone
Without the reminder
On my finger.
