My mortal soulmate and now my immortal angel,
have me wishing there was no death.
You looked in my eyes before I could even say a word and smiled at my mere existence.

I hope to have made you proud, when I hugged you.
Now, I play back your words of wisdom
and my tears have no control.
Now, I hold on to your presence in my mind.

I pray you have found eternal peace.
Your smell is fading,
your clothes hanging still
and your warmth I am missing.

I wish I had said more words,
I wish I had listened to more of you.
Your presence was light,
I can’t stand not seeing one more night.
But I know I’ll get by,
your strength has me walking forward
and I’ll keep walking
spreading the light you left behind in me.
