I really, really miss you.

Grief is everywhere

I feel it always

Sometimes it is painful

Sometimes I find myself smiling

Most of the time I cry inside

I look outside the window

I look at the sky

I want so badly

To ask it why

Why did you get chosen

Why did you have to go

Why couldn’t we have had more time

There is so much I don’t know

I guess what I really need

Is to know you are okay

And maybe that you’ve gotten my messages

The ones I send day after day

I am going to be okay

I believe that to be true

I just can’t help feeling this way

I really, really miss you
