Missing You Is Forever
When reunited in my memory,
You illuminate the room
No foreshadow of the darkness,
That would claim your life too soon
With an arm around my shoulders,
You share stories in my ear
Culminating in a laughter,
That seems to come from everywhere
I lose myself in the sparkle,
Of eyes so joyous, and so kind
Trying to rectify how 10 years have gone
Without a tangible passage of time
As reality starts whispering
Heartache follows with the breeze
And I tell myself all over again
It wasn’t death you chose, but Peace
