October 7th was the night you left
October 8th was the day we found out you weren't there
And we didn't watch the blood moon like you promised me
October 31st was when our Halloween plans fell through because you still weren't here to fill them
November 7th was when you had been gone for a month
November 9th will be your 17th birthday
November 27th will be the day you miss Thanksgiving,
And i'll be too bitter to be thankful
December 9th,
You'll miss dad's birthday
December 24th you won't be here to open presents a day early
December 25th you'll miss our brother complaining about mayonnaise and our uncle forgetting our presents
March 16th you'll miss my birthday
I don't know how long it'll be until we find you
But there will never be a date listed
Where I give up on you.
I'm not going to forget.
