Always Two

Always Two

Im happy I'm breathing

But I'm sad that you don't.

Im happy to have children

But I'm sad that you won't

I'm happy to hear laughter

But I'm sad you can't share

I'm happy to feel sunlight

But I'm sad you're not there

I'm happy for the memories

Even though they bring tears

I'm happy you were in my life

For all those precious years

I'm happy for your guidance

Though your voice is now still

I'm happy for your courage

And the strength of your will

I'm happy for the lessons

You taught me every day

I'm sad that you're gone

Yet I know you couldn't stay.

I'm happy for the sunsets

That remind me of your glow

I'm happy for the nights

When dreams let your face show

I'm happy for the whispers

Of your love in the breeze

I'm sad that I can't hold you

But your memory brings me peace

I'm happy for the strength

You gave me to carry on

I'm happy for the hope

That your spirit isn't gone

I'm happy for the love

That lives on in my heart

Im happy to be your twin

Even if we are apart.
