Consequences

Time no longer seems important,
now that I am by myself.
I wish there was some way
we can turn back time.

I miss all the little things
that used to make us laugh.
No one seems to understand
how we saw the world.

Our talks seemed endless,
never was there a dull moment.
Now that there is silence,
my words are useless.

There was always an adventure,
awaiting us to seek out.
Each day was lived to its fullest,
wasting time was no issue.

I look to the stars at night,
and try to picture your face.
It brings back all the good times,
how I wish you were here with me.

Waking up each day,
tears come to my eyes.
Without you in my life,
I have nothing more to look forward to.

I push myself to go on,
I know that\'s what you wanted.
So now I make a difference,
in someone else\'s life.

Making speeches in front of young crowds,
it can be nerve wrecking.
But out of those 100 teens I talk to,
at least I know one will listen.

I just hope that one day,
my voice will be heard.
Then maybe more kids will understand,
the consequences of drinking and driving.
