We Miss You

It takes a lot
To make me cry.
There are few moments
When the tears begin to form.
Now those moments have turned into
All day...
All week...
All month.

We sat up crying,
Thinking about how much
We miss you.

We aren't sentimental people,
We don't hold each other,
Or talk about our pain...
Only when it really hurts.
Now,
It's tormenting.

We miss you,
So, so much.
Why did you have to leave?
Why does your last "I love you"
Shake me so hard to my core?
Why are there so many mascara tears?

It was a long, sad night.
She put her arms around me,
And cried into my hair.
She tried to hide it,
But growing up,
You learn how to tell
When something is wrong with each other,
It's your bond...
And we need it so badly right now.

We miss you,
And we can't imagine our lives without you.
What about the holidays and birthdays?
You were always the first
To give hugs.
Where will that warmth be now?

We miss you...
Please,
Please come back to us,
I pray.

But we all know,
You're not coming back...
Why can't I accept that?

We leave you behind tomorrow,
In a time that I know
Will nearly kill me.

Why did it have to be so soon?

Why did it have to be so traumatic?

Why did you have to go?
