Thank you

Yesterday was a date
Anniversary since you left
And I let it pass
Unmarked unkempt

I thought I would always mourn you
That my grief would never fade
And yet as I sit here
No tears have I made

I remember you well
I can hear you speak
I can see you smile
I no longer see you weak

I almost forgot the moments
That months have slipped by
That you have been gone so long now
So long since we said goodbye

And yet although guilt is present
I know you would be pleased
That you would want me living
Not mourning an old grief

I thank you for the life
That you gave to me
And although your no longer here
In my heart you'll always be.
