You were so bright you cast a shadow on me. You were younger, but I always looked up to you. I always wished I had your confidence, your smile. I always hoped I could leave your shadow behind, but not like this. I would give anything to have you back see your smile again, feel the warmth of your hug. Instead I only have pictures, it is the only way I can see your face. Even your voice has faded in my mind. I could never forget you, but I have to let you go. You said I would never be alone, that you would always be there. You lied, and now your gone. Where does that leave me? Alone...
