"Dear Friend"

 

Days and months...

Memories and moments counted...

All seconds of existing...

Of a life now living without you...

So many teardrops have been shed

Whispered pieces of prayer spoken

The struggle of the mind to find its place...

In a world where you no longer walk with me

Ears await to hear the voice call...

“Hey dear friend, up for another adventure?”

We are those who remain in your absence

Working through our understanding

Death always leaves a scar upon the time line of our lives

By turning the heart beat rhythm into a flat line...

Leaving a human shaped hole in our universe...

But I do not reflect upon the stolen or lost

Even still, I am better for it...

To have known and loved

Than to have had nothing at all...

Everything that is you is treasured deep

Carried within the bittersweet

Together we made each other brave and strong

And now...

I have to be brave and strong for the both of us

Because there is still laughter that echoes through

Days and sunsets...

Lead me to the footsteps I take forward

Everything that was found and discovered

Is kept embraced within the soul

A spirit watching over me now

Remembrance rests silently...

Finding peace with the pieces

Is my hope for tomorrow...

Because you now keep our every yesterday.
