Never Forget

You walked into my life

Leaving traces of yourself

Making sure I would never forget you

                        

How could I?

You were my rock, my anchor.

You kept me sane

 

I never thought that I would have to learn

To deal with the rest of the world

Without you here

 

You weren't my lover

We each had our own happiness

But my dear friend

 

Why did they steal you away from me?

 

Who gave them right?

Who told them it was okay?

Who granted permission for them to take you from me?

                                  

Maybe I'm selfish

You belonged to not only me

But I can't help but think

 

Why did you nestle yourself in my soul?

Why does it hurt so much?

Why does it feel like I lost a huge part of myself?

 

I needed you

I still need you

                                    

But you're not here

To smile and laugh

To cure the boredom

 

Chase away my demons

With your kind words

My mental sanity

 

Don't be afraid

I could never forget you

Like you never forgot me

Only two months. How am I going to survive the rest of my life? I don't know if I can.

Two months ago today my best friend was taken from me. Time doesn't heal wounds. It just gives you more to think about.
