Gone Too Soon (Happy Birthday)



Gone too soon

2012/11/14
Yes you could've been 23 by today
I still in my heart celebrate your birthday
The hardest part of my journey would be letting go
The biggest part of me(you) had gone and I've been left incomplete, shuttered and destroyed too

Like the summer day sky without sunlight
My heart yearns and longs for a time ill be with you
I miss you with every fibre in my body
Days darkened forever
Sometimes I think of you and cry then I smile again because still in your death you don't wanna see me sad
I'm begining to forget what you wouldve looked lik
I must say, you didn't deserve to die

I miss you and love you still

I wonder each time how better off I wouldve turned if you were here to guide me
I can't blame you but I wanna
In my head I still write letters and talk to you for closure

Today I celebrate your life with tears in my eyes, pain in my heart, sorrow in my soul and confusion in my brains
May your dear soul on this day know you are never forgotten
An angel you were and an angel you still are
Blessed you were and blessed I was to get to know you for that little while

Splendid soul indeed
Your smile ill forever miss
Your voice, how I long to hear
Feel your touch and talk to you about things that bother me
I lost a piece of my soul on the day you left
And I can never regain it

Letters ill still write and hope you see em
Here one day, gone one night
Gone too soon
I miss you and love you, always
