A day I would erase from all history and all of the future
The day that you left and departed this world
My heart nearly died with you
You were my best friend, my inspiration
The light in my world when everything else was dark
You understood me better than anyone ever has, and maybe ever will
Forgave me before I apologized or admitted being wrong at all
You showed me a love that was beyond unconditional
I know, because of you, what love truly means
You inspired the person that I am today
Gave me hope when I needed it most
Without you I wouldn’t even be here
Ironically, I’m here now and you’re not
You kept me in line, you kept me grounded
To this day, I have to catch myself when I spin out of control
And when I do, I miss you more than anything
Because it was always easier to get back up with you holding my hand.
The only purpose I can find now is not letting you die…
I will keep you alive in memory and words
I will keep you alive to everyone who is close
And I’ll keep you alive in my heart, where you will always be
People think it gets easier with time, I don’t agree
You meant the world to me and I’m lost without you
And that’s something that a lifetime won’t change
But I will find ways to manage, I don’t have much choice
These are just a few words from my heart
Straight to you, wherever you may be
I hope you see them, because these are things I never had a chance to tell you
And I don’t have the patience to wait till I’m with you again.
