Don't tell me...

Please have patience in reading this:
"Please don't tell me you know how I feel,
unless you have lost a loved one too.
Please don't tell me my broken heart will heal.
Because that is just not true,
Please don't tell me my loved one is in a better place,
thought it is true, I want him here with me,
Don't tell me someday I;ll hear his voice,
see his face,
Beyond today I cannot see
Don't tell me it is time to move on,
Because I cannot
Don't tell me to oface the fact he is gone
because denial is something I can't stop
Don't tell me to be thankful for the time I had
because I wanted more
Don't tell me when I am my old self
you will be glad
I'll never be as I was before
What you can tell me is you
will be here for me.
That you will listen when I talk to my loved one
you can share with me my precious memories.
You can even cry with me for a while,
And please don't hesitate to say his name
becuase it is something I long to hear every day.
Friend, please realize that I can never be the same.
But if you stand by me
You may like the new person I become someday...."
