My emotions are so confused
Our family now has a hole that cannot be filled
Too soon, SHE has gone away forever

Your sadness was unbearable to me
and only increased my own sadness
I am delighted to see you smile again
I need to see you happy
Elated that you have found someone that can once again make you whole
But I know she can never fill the hole
that was made when SHE went away

She will sit in all of the places that SHE has vacated
But she can never take HER place
Thankfully she is respectfully not trying to fill HER space
She knows that can never be

We will love her
But it will be in a different way
It is clear that she loves you too
And that makes me happy

Why did YOU go away too soon?
