reminders of you

Small things remind me
That you aren't here
To watch my life
As it flies by
As it changes
I'm not the same
I will never be
The person I was
The day you left me.

I am back on my feet
I used my wings
The ones you gave
Full of strength
Love and hope
To go on
Even with you gone.

It does get hard
It breaks my heart
To explain to my daughter
Why I wear my bracelet
For awareness
To remind myself
You are with me
With every step I take.
I hear songs
That remind me of you
Remind me of us
What I lost.
It breaks my heart
Now I'm able to move on.
I still cry
Not all the time
But sometimes the tears fall
And they don't stop
The tears are for we never got to be
We could have been anything.

I have made mistakes
I have fallen and stumbled
You have come to me
But only in my dreams
I know I'll be okay
Because you'll never be too far away.
