Sitting there with you.

That quiet place, so much left to tell you.

Your grin, your voice.

My mind's a wreck.

Your picture stays to remind me.

You helped me through so much.

You made my life better. You taught me.

And you're gone.

I don't see how that's fair.

And how I threw away the last year with you.

It must have seemed I didn't care all.

But Sweetheart, I did.

I'll remember you fondly

I'll live to return the gift I found in your words.

Still now.

Listen.

Quietness.

Listen.

I'm sorry I was gone.

I'm so sorry you'll never be back.
