730 days. That's two whole years without you. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you, your laugh, your smile and your words of wisdom that usually helped me out of the situation I was in.
730 days ago I stood there at your feet, I stayed abit longer because I didn't know how to say good-bye. I was standing at your feet almost the whole time. When it was time to leave, you know the final goodbye, I moved to your side and stood for a while. Never in my life has my heart broke the way it did that day, but I moved closer and I stroked your hair, then I kissed your forehead, told you I love you and that I'd see you soon.
730 days ago you left us. I'm truly sorry we couldn't keep you longer, but you peacefully slipped away from us to rest in paradise and watch over us always. I'll never forget the lessons you taught me, the laughs we shared together, the endless conversations and the time we spent together. I guess you never know when the chapter has to close, til I'm standing at your bedside saying goodbye, I'll see you later.
You'll never be forgotten, you will always be here because we carry you within our hearts every day of the year.
To most this doesn't come through as a poem, but to me the words in this are poetic as to how we all felt that horrible day we lost him.
