There’s something funny about a loved one’s death it’s like climbing up a flight of stairs and thinking there’s one more stair than there is so you put your foot down and it passes through the air and hits the ground it’s a shock, your heart beats really fast and then nothing. Absolutely nothing. I remember your face your smile your laugh I remember the times When, as a kid, I giggled in glee and flew paper aeroplanes around on your lap I remember your hand how it fit into mine like it was meant to be how you told me everything’s gonna be alright and now I remember the huge gaping hole in my chest where my heart used to be. I remember staring at your face And thinking, “this isn’t you” I remember how they dressed you up and laid you there and I struggled with the realization that someone, something in my life would never come back it was like I watched you walk into the ocean deeper and deeper until the waters covered your head I was screaming, crying Begging you to come back For me But you didn’t hear a word I said Yeye, Mama, YiDioh, I sing what I cannot speak I write what I cannot say My heart beats for you I will never give up Everything you taught me How to be brave How to be strong, When I’m afraid How to press on How to hold on How to keep the light in my eyes alive I love you, You had a great ride, And I will never forget you.
