Strange Peace Poem by Angelica Duardo

There's a strange peace in me when I think of you
It's like I have accepted the fact that you're no longer here, but still you are
You bring joy to my eyes and tears to my heart
Your presence is oddly stronger now that you not around
It's like our love has become wiser now that I've learned to love only who you were, because you are not
This strange peace chokes me every time I think of you
I still cry your memory, but now that sadness rests more easily
Because I have you forever, as you always had me
I'll have you forever, and this strange peace
