One Year Later

It’s been a year since you’ve been gone.

You’re gone from our lives, but not our hearts.

I’ve known you all my life, and I still can’t believe you’re gone.

I miss you a lot. I wish you were here.

I’ve got so much to tell you. I’ve got so much to say.

All I can really do is live life day by day

And take chances in life to see where things will congregate.

I don’t know where I’ll be in a couple of years from now,

But one thing I do know is that I won’t ever back down.

I won’t let fear and insecurity

Prevent me from being me,

Seeing all I can see,

And being the best person that I can be!

You always taught me to not give up,

To not give in,

And to never quit.

You taught me to pursue my goals and dreams no matter how hard they may be.

You taught me to overcome obstacles and challenges no matter how difficult they may seem.

You had so much potential and so much life left to live.

I wanted to see you be happy and succeed.

You were taken from this world too soon.

I wish you could see the person that I’ve become!
