It hasn't been very long
since I heard that you were gone
and it honestly doesn't feel real.
I read that you were dead
and something clicked in my head
but I honestly didn't know how to feel.
It seemed like just yesterday
when it was really months away
when I spoke to you for the first time.
And now it's hard to move on
it just feels so wrong
to pretend like everything is fine.
I remember wishing for the time to have a chat with you
and now I'll never get the chance to.
I sat there and cried
and reread all our messages
and wondered when you were coming back to stay.
But deep down I knew,
that it was really true,
that you had really passed away.
To think that just hours ago,
you still were around
is what makes it feel like it's not true.
But I know that it's real,
it's not just a dream,
and there's nothing that I can do.
It was just the other day,
when I had waited,
for the chance to talk to you.
I waited for you to get online
but I kept missing my chance,
and now's really too late.
I feel so numb,
I feel so lost,
but I have no one to blame but fate.
You've taught me a lesson,
my dear Dannie Phantom.
I bet you didn't expect that did you?
You taught me to cherish every moment,
and hold on while I can,
because you can't hold on forever.
There will come a time,
when your loved ones say goodbye,
and you can no longer be together.
You taught me to no longer wait,
to take my chance
while it's still there.
Because nothing last forever,
and chances fade,
they just disappear into the air.
I miss you Dannie,
I really do,
and just know that you were loved.
I hope you're alright,
and you're where you belong,
in heaven up above.
~RIP Dannie Todd
