"Remember to breathe;” it sometimes feels like I’ve forgot how and
it’s hard to remember how I got to this point that I’m at now.
I looked at you, smiling weakly before my eyes;
I did not want to believe that it was goodbye.
For months I watched you deteriorate, little by little.
I always stood by your side, I always stayed faithful.
The memories of you start to fill my heart and with them my entire world falls apart.
You brought love and compassion to my life and without you it feels lonely, like deep in my heart rests a knife.
I remember seeing the light in your eyes growing faint;
I had to be strong and put on an invisible restraint.
Your beautiful hand slipped away from mine
and an unfamiliar chill radiated down my spine.
You’re okay, I know it ... this has to be true;
knowing that will get me through.
You are somewhere I am not, but I still feel you inside.
You fill my heart with love and make the anguish subside.
I will carry you with me until the Lord calls me, too.
But for now I must go on, I must start anew.
I will rebuild my life, I will rebuild myself and I will mend my mental health.
You would have wanted me to live up to my potential so moving on is essential.
I will never forget you, so please don’t ever forget me,
and know that one day, in the Kingdom of Heaven, we shall dance free.
