Hope

2005 - 2021

I wrote this for you my love:

Sixteen years was not long enough and the pain is too much to bear. If I knew for certain you were in a place watching down on me I would already be there.

I know you did your best for me and tried so hard not to let me go. But your suffering became much too great that I had to let you go.

When the day finally came I laid with you for hours in your favorite spot. I whispered all day in your ear how much I loved you but knew what was to come would truly break my heart.

When the time came to say goodbye I wrapped my arms around you and held you so very tight. I told you to go and rest my love and that everything would be alright.

When it was over and you were suffering no more, I laid with you for hours as my tears soaked the floor.

It broke my heart to let you go and the pain gets worse every day. But if loved could have saved your life, we would still be together today.

I’m not sure I can live without you but I guess I have to try. In the meantime all I can do is think about all the happiness you brought me and try not to cry.

You meant the world to me and that will never change. And I would give up everything just to have one more day.

Hope
