Gone

You know it's ironic,but it just came to my mind that today was the day I said my 
last goodbye to you,four years you have been gone and I'm ok til it crosses my 
mind than my heart hurts for the one I love,this is the day that her heart stopped 
breathing because you no longer would appear before our eyes,with all that has 
gone on in the last couple of years,before losing you two I felt there was nothing 
that I couldn't handle,because I was alway's looking out  for you two,but now the 
minutes just become hours the hours become days and those turn into month's 
for me and finally years,where as most can stop and sit down and enjoy their 
time with family I feel as if I have to keep going because I don't have that family to 
sit down  on the side and watch the rat race of the world go by,I no longer have 
that warmth of being able to turn to my past and speak with you who knows me 
through the years when no one else did I can share my heart only to find like my 
friendships trying to be  misguided,cautious of those I speak with my heart 
hurts at not having that voice to hear me out,to say I can't lie and say I know what 
your going thru,but I can give you a hug to show that their are arms out there, to 
show you,that all though you maybe alone in the world, the weight does not sit on 
you alone,and when you try to understand people  know this you'll never 
understand people,for all that your mother gave you she tried so hard to protect 
you from all that she was not sure of,so for all that you will face or see learn as 
you move through the world be a student of what comes your way,see what she 
kept you from learning and see why she did  it ,try to be as you alway's have been 
but understand one thing no one will ever understand you,for in so much you 
have grown but in so many way's you are still like a child yourself learning to 
understand why people are not whom they seem to be,sleep my child  for now 
you must rest,the day will be new and the problems will be the same,but know 
that you must alway's remain true to you,be truthful to you and you will have no 
problem being truthful to others.
