Life is fragile and breaks
With the slightest touch
Of failure or fault
Which all seems too much
You had the brightest smile
Which I clearly remember well
You used to smile every day
Now, only time will tell
When I will see you again
And what you will say
About my life without you
That seems too far away
I wish I could hear your sweet voice
Talking to me like you should
Telling me you love me
Like I know you would
It seemed so long ago
Since the last time I saw your face
You loving laugh and smile
Was as warm as your embrace
I miss the look you gave me
Whenever I did something wrong
The frown along your forehead
You always seemed so strong
I think about you all the time
When I'm asleep and awake
I think about you too much
That it makes my heart break
I wish I could have you back
And lock you in my arms
I wish I could stay like that forever
To protect you from any harms
The time it will take for me
To see all these things I adore
Is too long for me to record
And would hurt me to the core
I always loved to go with you
Everywhere you went
But now, I can't
Because your time is spent
You have no idea how much it hurts
How much it burns
To know you will never come back
And never make your return
I miss you everyday
Each day it grows stronger
My list of "what ifs"
Grows increasingly longer
I'd give anything to see you again
Even if it means the end
Of life as I know it
I'm willing to go round that bend
The end is drawing closer
I can almost feel its grasp
I'm going with it willingly
My heart, held in its clasp
I hope this means I'll see you
Alive, even in death
I will love you forever more
Long after my final breath
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Goodbyes are not forever
Goodbyes are not the end
They simply mean I miss you
Until we meet again

Dedicated to a boy who lost his motor today, as I lost my father.
I hope she finds paradise, Nathan, it's what she deserves.
