She left a short letter to Dear Robi,
"You are stronger than you think you are," it said,
my love reduced to apathetic condolences,
the appearance of resilience and my happiness
abbreviated to eight words not three.
Reading past the last letter of the letter,
and and twice the lunar cycle,
I swam under the ground that we had made and
surfaced in the light of the sun -
stronger than she ever thought I was.
