The True Sense of One – 2 – One

Just replied to an invitation which asked are you a one or a two? It made me feel sad. Clearly the invitation was not written by a widow or widower, as numbers to people not bereaved, are maybe just numbers…..but to those grieving numbers mean a little more. Just jotted on a piece of paper, whilst I watched the kettle boil, a few lines…..maybe you understand my feelings?
I started life just as a one,
Part of a family but still just a single… one.
Then I met you and one became two
But now you are gone, what do I do?
I loved being together, I loved being a two
I can’t imagine being a one, no not without you.
To some, one and two are just numbers you see
Yet one is alone coping with grief
And two is no longer a reality for me
