It's been so long, yet still I cry

don't know if I can cope,

Just one more day I'm tripping through

bogged down with endless hope.

I don't know why it came your time

sixteen's just way to soon,

So much regret for things unsaid

now spoken to the moon.

I wish that I could say goodbye

but all around you're here,

To say I love you one last time

is written in each tear.

Still days go by and things feel wrong

it's hard to feel I'm whole,

When you were taken from this earth

it cut deep in my soul.

Your sister still she cries at times

I try to soothe her heart,

By telling her you love her too

though that's the saddest part.

Your brother how he honors you

wants just to be the same,

He misses you but everyday

he always speaks your name.

I know we'll meet again up there

where you with God now rest,

It's just that sometimes I can't bear

this sadness in my chest.

I hope that with what life I've left

I'll leave something behind,

That hope will flow from you to me

just like your blue eyes shined.

You'll never be forgotten

I know for now you're far,

It's just so sad that memories

can't take me where you are.
