This poem reminds me so much of my late uncle, who just passed away last week due to complications of his Alzheimer's disease. He will forever be in my heart as this quote by Bukowski assures me.

 

“there is a place in the heart that
will never be filled

a space

and even during the
best moments
and
the greatest times
times

we will know it

we will know it
more than
ever

there is a place in the heart that
will never be filled
and

we will wait
and
wait

in that space.”

― Charles Bukowski

(disclaimer: just in case you're not aware - that is Bukowski. definitely not my uncle, he just reminds me so much of my late uncle.)
