You were so bright you cast a shadow on me.
You were younger, but I always looked up to you.

I always wished I had your confidence, your smile.
I always hoped I could leave your shadow behind, but not like this.

I would give anything to have you back
see your smile again, feel the warmth of your hug.

Instead I only have pictures,
it is the only way I can see your face.
Even your voice has faded in my mind.

I could never forget you, but I have to let you go.
You said I would never be alone,
that you would always be there.

You lied, and now your gone.
Where does that leave me?

Alone...
