Still miss you

Four years now you’ve been gone
Hopefully to a better place
They said you were gone even before
Your heart gave out
But I wonder
Did you hear me?
Did you know I was there?
I’d always protected you growing up
This time
.......I couldn’t
I know you wanted
To stay
But it wasn’t meant to be

When I got the call
That your heart gave out...
..... a piece of mine died, too

I know I’m not alone in this world
In which I still roam
But it feels like it sometimes

Some days the memories bring
A smile to my face, to my soul
And some days, like today,
The memories are just too much
For my soul to bear
