It Only Feels Like Yesterday

It only feels like yesterday that we walked through those hospital doors, and now, nearly a year later, I can't see you anymore.

Everything happened so quickly and it can be hard to understand, I remember sitting there with you, and you holding my hand.

We walked through to see the doctor, it was more serious than we thought, but who knew a week later, so much sadness would be bought.

You fell so poorly so quickly, you went from standing to laying in a hospital bed, it wasn't long afterwards, that you had angels flying around your head.

A week of being in the hospital, with my head upon your chest, you were strong and you fought so hard, but then the time came, for you to rest.

Looking back on you laying there, you looked so peaceful and so free, but no words can describe, the sadness and the heartache it taught me.

In my heart was darkness, my body helpless and numb, my eyes filled with tears, my mind filled with fear,
I wish things could be so different, to see you smile again, to hear your laughter and for you to still be here.

It only feels like yesterday that we walked through those hospital doors, and now, nearly a year later, I can't see you anymore.
