Gone Goes the Time

Another anniversary and i post the same thing
Of how you are  missed and that my heart stings 
Yes this is TRUE and it somehow get easier day by day 
But you are never the same not in any sort of way 
Yes you smile and think of the past 
Yes people say "bereavement will pass"
But when you open your eyes and close good night 
You can't help but think of you, wanting to hold you tight 

The guilt and what ifs will always flow
It's something to hold onto you just can't let go 
Even though we did all we could
It is the what ifs, shoulda, woulda,  could. 
The days go by and your anniversary comes and goes
I think of u now and if you need a hand to hold 

It's weird the way how life goes on, how dare it without here
you do have up and down days and often shed a tear 

I find your strength and smile,  this is the 6th year without you 
You will never ever be forgotten my mum believe me that is always true 
For now I lay beside you when I close my eyes at night 
Knowing you with me, I with you, my angel guiding light

The loss of loved ones is always painful, they say time heals but how long, it does heal but they live on in your heart and mind forever A lovely tribute Dominique. Tom
