I suppose it's true what they say...
Grief comes in waves
Sometimes it's a soft sadness
I shed a few tears...
Sniffle a bit...
But acknowledge that you are no longer suffering

I thought accepting you were gone once would be enough
But it's not...
Other times a wave of heart-wrenching desperation and suffocating loneliness crashes into me
I half believe I could drown in these tears
I can't believe it's already been a whole year

I miss you so much
I wish I could see you, hear you, hug you
The only ghosts of your memory lie in old videos, your soft clothes, and your fancy perfume
I miss you, I miss you so much

I know you're somewhere past this horizon
Past the glittering ocean and melted sun
I will smile for you, for all you did
And the beauty that you gave this world
Some day we will see each other again
