dear stranger
why?
why did you have to go away?
it’s too soon
i thought i had more time
and now all i have is memories to keep me warm in the cold rain
you protected me
and know without your shield i am on my knees
i am overcome with grief
and i need you now more than ever
there are still memories to be made
good times to be had
and yet they don’t feel the same
without you
and maybe once the sun comes out
i’ll see you again
i’ll hold onto you
and i’ll never let go
but until then i will be haunted by you
i can feel the weight of your absence every time i know exactly what you would say
every time i write, sing, act, strum my ukulele, or even speak
i feel your ghost
your loss lays heavy on me like your arm around my shoulders
i guess all i can say is
i miss you like hell burns
