May 2014
We've traveled these long roads together
Battling these monsters hand in hand
Along the road we came to terms
We began to understand

We've seen the sunset
And watched the moon rise
Laughed effortlessly together
And disguised our hopeless cries

Time seems to have passed us by
Because I've seemed to forget your smile
Your eyes are a dim memory in my mind
I haven't heard your voice in my head in a while

I sat beside your grave
And even brought you flowers
I gazed up at the moon hoping I'd see you
As a shooting star in the highest of the star towers

I sat there all night
Wishing you'd just return to my embrace
Crying as I wished I could go back in time
And tell you I loved you, and memorize your face

Because those little things that never seemed to matter
Matter so much more than they ever did
I need to see every flaw and perfection
That you ever hid

Because now your six feet too far
And the ground is far too cold
I can't reach down and pull you up
Your bones are to fragile to hold
