Memories ring like bells in my head,
Making me wish life had taken me instead.
I cannot lie about the truth,
How you seemed to hold my life together like glue.
Not a day goes by that I'm not missing you.
A duo to be reckoned with is what we were.
Inseparable, and so certain about life for sure.
We had it all planned out,
Everything would go together, without a doubt.
Now I'm missing you, and it's anything I can do to not shout.
No one expected that final curtain call.
Oh how I miss our random trips to the mall.
Teasing strangers with random jokes.
Passing time watching ordinary folks.
Best friends for life, anyone could easily tell.
Endless summer's spent together,
A remote to pause those times, and hold onto them forever.
Why is that so hard to ask,
Sometimes it's damn near impossible to wear this mask.
To go about life and pretend I'm okay.
Memories ring like bells in my head,
Making me wish life had taken me instead.
I cannot lie about the truth,
How you seemed to hold my life together like glue.
Not a day goes by that I'm not missing you.
We'll see each other again someday,
If only there was some way,
To bring you back and make you stay.
My life has never been the same.
It's anything I can do to keep myself sane.
Time heals all wounds,
So to time I ask,
How much longer will this last?
Ten years come and gone,
And I'm left here feeling like it's still year one.
Till we see each other again my friend,
I ask that you keep a spot saved for me at the other end.
Time will pass us by you'll see.
Together again, you and me.
Then we can go back to passing time at the Mall.
As if nothing had changed at all.
In loving memory of Regina Marie Maine February 18, 1992 - September 12, 2011
