The pain of losing a loved one, Is a wound that never truly heals. It's a heartache that always lingers on, And an ache that the soul always feels. The memories of the times together, Are a bittersweet reminder of the past. Of the laughter and love that we shared, And the moments that went by far too fast. It's the little things that we miss the most, Like the way they smiled, or the sound of their voice. The way they held our hand, or offered a hug, And made our hearts feel whole and rejoice. The grief can be overwhelming at times, And the tears may stream down like rain. But we hold onto the love that we shared, And the memories that will always remain. In the end we must remember, That the love we shared will never fade. And though our loved ones may be gone, Their spirit will forever stay.
