It's Been a Year

Since I have seen your smile
Or have heard you laugh
Since we had “meetings” in my bathroom,
I remember your spot was always the bath.
 
Since we met over Facebook
We then started talking,
Since our first kiss in the backseat
And i got to hold your hand while walking.
 
Since we texted and called each other
And stayed up all night
Since your messages
Woke me up in the morning light.
 
Since you hung out in the garage
And played guitar with my brother
Since the first time you came over
And became another son to my mother.
 
Since we laughed until we cried
Laying on my bed
Since “see you soon”
Were the last words you said.
 
Since you, My best friend
Have passed away
Since my heart broke into a million pieces
That morning in German class that day.
 
Since I've lost the only relationship
That meant the world to me
Since I've actually smiled without pretending
And showed the real me.
 
Since I've seen your shaggy hair
And your bright blue eyes
Since you would drive over late at night
Just to bring me a sweet tea and fries.
 
Since we used to play like ninjas
And I’d surprise you with my attack
Since I've accepted the fact
That you’re never coming back.

It’s been a rough year without you. Accepting the fact that I won’t see you again until the day I join you up there in the heavens. I’ll always remember you. You’re in my heart and always on my mind. I could never forget you. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. I’d give anything to see you one more time and hug you. Just to see you smile and to hear your laugh. To feel your presence before you even walked through my door. You showed me that there is a life worth living, just wish I could live it with you again. I love you.
