I Will See You Someday

I go to school day to day, it's the same routine, weekly.

I come home, and do my homework, then I practice my music.

It's a fulfilling lifestyle, but sometimes I remember your face and I realize a part of me is missing.

It's been two years, but the memories feel like just yesterday.

Baking cookies in your kitchen, and swimming in your freezing cold pool.

We laughed and cried, we sang and prayed. We were pals, and distantly we still are.

Gatherings at Christmas are not the same without your beaming smile, and loud laugh.

Sometimes, I wish I could see you again, but I know it will be a while.

It hurts to say it, but I am beginning to forget the sound of your voice.

Sometimes, if I am lucky, I can hear it when I dream.

No matter where you are now, I know you are with me somehow.

Your spirit resides in me and the family, so I am constantly reminded of your love.

It has been two years, which feels like ten,

 but you taught me to have faith, and so I know that someday I will see you again.
