You've been gone for quite some time...
but the memory of you still lives on...

It seems just like yesterday you left
my heart can still feel the pain
every birthday
every holiday
I wish I could spend with you
like the many years before

now I can only share these days with
the memory of your hugs,
your voice...
the memory of you ...

I still cry at night
as I think of the past
of all the memories we had
even the ones that were once so faint
they stand out more than ever

You've been gone for quite some time
but the memory of you still lives on
with me!
