It's been two years

You left two years ago

I try so hard not to cry

But it still hurts

Pierces my heart

Rips through my mind with a cry of pain

I think I'll be okay

I want you to know that

For so long I thought your death had destroyed me

I know now

That's not true

Your death pulled in a new layer of strength

I wonder if you can see me

If you still watch over me

Me and the young girl who has grown

I am a different girl then you knew

Not a girl anymore

A strong young woman

A powerful mind

I have grown

In part because of you

I refuse to let your death destroy me

Instead, I embrace the peace I hope you're in

A new life maybe

Or someplace better than where the world is now

I hope to see you again someday

I wish I could feel your presence as you watch me

But maybe that means you're not watching me

In truth, I may never know

That's alright

I can stay strong

I still miss you

I will always miss you

Forever and always

I love you
