Poetry

I thought

your support would always be there

That you would always be here, but now you are gone, and your words and your smile will one day fade from my recollection.

But if I’m lucky, I will see have every picture we took together and cherish them, for they are the greatest gift I have. It

I’m grateful I took the time to spend more time with you, even when life got busy.

I couldn’t ever say no when you called me up, and I should be ashamed of the times I called out to have a girl’s day with you.

But I know life is too short, and even though your candle doesn’t burn anymore, you will always be the brightest light she knew and loved.
