the fourth year.

Four years ago; a lifetime
I have never felt so empty;
An emptiness I haven't known since, 
but one that hasn't completely disappeared
and one I most certainly won't forget

It's impossible not to wonder
Who you would have been
Who you would have favored
How our lives would be different


It seemed so unfair
We struggled to understand
The pain isn't any easier
but despite the heartache,
we were blessed again.


Your flame dances brightly as I know you do
And despite the inability to see through the tears,
I know you are nearby,
and so does the hole in my heart


You were too good for Earth,
we think of you as our angel
and we will always consider you ours.
Until we meet again, dear one.
