Dear Forgotten and Gone

Dear “Forgotten” and Gone

(Nov. 18, 2012)

Each night I pray,

Your haven is always within the words

Each day I live,

You manage to remind me you once were there

You’re not with me,

But I’m with you,

Perhaps not always,

But sometimes will do.

I remember everything,

Because everything about you is significant,

It was so then,

But more so now.

Each time I remember,

I wonder what I can do.

But there is nothing,

Nothing within my humanly powers,

Within my young will,

Within my moment of this life,

To bring you back.

Where you are I wish I knew,

Knowing would lessen the pang.

But I do not,

And cannot change,

The fact of your disappearance.

Still you are never really gone,

In my heart I believe in you,

Wherever you are.

You, my friends that have gone without word,

Each time I pray,

We meet again.
