Wish You Were Here

I sit here alone, but sounds still flood my ears
Everyone's so noisy, while I am raining tears
It's been almost 10 years now, but it's still hard
Part of me, still forever scarred.
Because no big machine can stop on a dime,
I won't get to say I love you one last time.


It's days like today where I miss you the most. The milestones. The big days of growing up, such as this one, where I'm going out on a date with a guy. A really amazing guy, that I think you'd definitely like. He's funny, and he's kind, and he treats me right :) I wish you could have been here to meet him. Or scare him out of his wits, one or the other, doesn't matter either way. You could have been here to meet him at the door.

But you're not. Because almost ten years ago, you were taken away from me, way before I was ready to let you go. Things have changed so much since you've been here. It's difficult, doing the big things without you. Driving. Dating. High School. Looking at colleges.

No one will ever replace you, and we will most definitely never forget you.

I love you, and I know that you're watching over me, helping me through the tough times, just like you were as if you were here.

Once the snow melts, I'm going to go visit you, I promise.

Maybe I'll bring Tim along, I'd love for you to see him.

10/14/64-12/11/00
Only the good die young.

One more day,
one more time.
One more sunset,
I'd be satisfied.
But then again,
I know what it
Would do.
But I'm still
wishing here,
For one more day
With you.
