Your love gave me the strength
Strength to face the future
To face the past, the pain
Your existence gave me hope
Hope that made me believe
In myself, in love
These lessons learned
Gave me courage
Feelings long denied
Now supplied by you,
Only you…for a long time.
Your departure left me numb
Weakness and pain overcoming my strength
Demolishing my world of safety
My would of love
Causing guilt, fear, sadness
A depressing sadness
That erodes my strength
That erodes my love.
Leaving us to remember
To not forget what you taught
How you felt…
How you loved
You're gone now
And we can't forget you,
And in return
All we ask is that you…
Don't forget us.
