some days i wonder what it be like
if you were still there, still alive
the example you lived
the love you shared
the role you played in my life
would we become closer
would we fall apart sometimes
but still find comfort in each other
because… hey, we’re family
and families are forever
you’re still a part of my family
you may not have a physical body
but i feel you from time to time
and i hope you know that i know
everything i ever received from you
i cling to like you wouldn’t believe
since i can no longer cling to you
today is Memorial Day
and this is all i can think about
this is me saying that i love you
that though you’re gone
i still carry you with me
in my aching heart and tears i cry
the memories i have of us together
and i will never forget you
until we meet again…
