May 2013
I can still remember the day before it happened,
We all crowded around the hospital bedside
But it wasn't a sad moment
You were happy,
We were happy,
Even though you were weak,
You managed to seem so strong,
Everytime your eyes would close,
You'd whisper
"I'm going to rest my eyes now..."
You were slowly being taken away from us.
A day later, you passed away,
The whole day and night was silent,
Not a word slipped our mouths
We never once asked what was going through our minds
We all you know you were running through it
Running through from this open and oyster of a world
To the heavens, somewhere you can be free of pain.
For months on end your scent drifted through your house,
And the smell of toast swam through our house for weeks...
Was it you, Where you still here?

And now, 3 years later we're here and moving on
You're still in our hearts
And you always will be
I'm doing well at school now, i've just applied for Head Girl, Deputy Head Girl and Senior Prefect granda,
I've never been so nervous
I did it for you Granda
I hope you're proud of me...
I love you <3

"I still look for your face in the crowd, oh if you could see me now
would you stand in disgrace or take a bow, oh if you could see me now"
