5 Years Later and I Still Miss You

5 years have passed, Isn't it crazy to think that's when I saw you last. I still remember the day I said goodbye. If I could redo anything in this life, it would be what I said to you. I should have known that "see you later" wasn't the appropriate phrase. What was I thinking? I was only 12. You told me that you always admired me for my optimism, And it's hard, especially when you aren't here anymore. Oh how time has changed. Something that felt so recent, but happened a long time ago, and every single moment I have with you replays in my mind, Reminding me that just because you beat somebody in a battle, Doesn't mean that they can't come back for round two. Oh where would life had gone if you gave cancer the K.O. I was told that it was all in god's timing, but why can't he let good things be? Why does everything that matters have to change? Why can't you be here with me? I miss you, and I wish you could have stayed, even for just another day.
