I am struck by the way you have exited this world with less
than a whisper, less than
A trace of a goodbye
I am struck by how your eyes have closed to infinite sleep
Without ever having been met by mine
I know the tears escaping from my trembling eyes are laced
with
Unmade memories
But know that your light will guide me on
Through times both rough and beautiful
Know that these arms will never feel your warmth
But they will not be barren either
Because your spirit will always fill them up
With everlasting youth and laughter
Never leave my side, not ever
We will walk through this darkness
And emerge together
I wish I could have held you tight
And whispered in your ear
That though you may not live tonight
We know you will be forever near
