Just because they’re gone
Doesn’t mean you’re alone

Blink. Open your eyes child.
You are not alone
You are loved.
And while it may not be by everyone
No one ever is
And yet here you are
Surrounded by love
Protected by love
Blink.

Just because they’re gone
Doesn’t mean they wanted to leave

You don’t know the full story
And never will
Many were ripped away, unwillingly
You must know this
Turn your head from your doubts
Open your eyes.
You know this to be true

Just because they’re gone
Doesn’t mean that they didn’t care
It doesn’t mean you aren’t loved
And while this is shakily unstable at best
You are allowed to enjoy this fragile life of yours
You are allowed to live.
