February 10

I miss you.

It's a year today,

I still miss you

Of course I do.

You were in my life

for 15 years.

How could anyone forget 15 years?

Ever since I could remember

you were there.

Now you're not.

It's sudden, it's different.

I don't like it.

You weren't well, I understand.

For me...

you just went to sleep.

The day you left,

I hurt so much.

An emptiness,

a void,

I've never felt before.

Who knew you could hurt that much?

Now you've gone

where I can't follow.

The house is different,

it won't be the same.

I found solace

in an alternative rock band.

You were always giving.

Your last gift was

the realisation

of a 6-year mistake.

I miss holding you

in my arms.

The way it feels

isn't so clear anymore.

Funny how that happens,

you lose touch,

with things that you

can't touch anymore.

Your smell it lingers,

ever with me.

Your face is with me

indefinitely.

Your life,

your memory,

with me always.

I love you.

Forevermore,

I'll love you.
