You'Re Gone But You'Re Not Forgotten

One year ago today you fell asleep and slipped away.
   Many of days tear drops fell upon my writing pad as I
      wrote thinking about you.
I heard you many a nights whispering to me,
   giving me comfort and I knew I would be alright.
In the beginning I broke into a trillion little pieces.
   But now time has healed and glued me whole again.
I will not mourn you any longer.
I will cherish the good memories of us.
You're gone but you're not forgotten,
   Because it's time for me to carry on.
