I learned something new today
When I went to pick you up
While I cried, holding the cardboard box
The small box that holds what's left of you

I learned something today
While I drove with you on my lap
Thinking of how you enjoyed car rides
And adventures

I learned something
When I realized life goes on
The world goes on
Time doesn't care about us

I lamented how it isn't fair
And I crawled into bed with you by my side
And curled around the box that you
The box that is synonymous with you

And I cried.
