Hope

I lived
You died
I sat here and held your hand
All through your life I had known this would happen
Through our many years together you have given me hope
I lived
You died
It's a simple as that
Yet nothing could ever be more complicated then my grief
You are gone
The world will never rejoice in your laughter
Dance in your joy
Hurt in your pain
I am here
The echoes of your laughter will bring peace to my heart
But never more will you engage me in your playful banter
I was not ready for you to go
Death
A mortal's blessing
A mortal's curse
But no mortal could ever feel what I am feeling now
Life
Yours was short
Mine was long
But in that blink of passing time
I have seen so much
Felt so much
Been so much more then I ever was before
You brought hope
You brought love
You brought joy to my life,
As there never was before
I wasn't ready
I have never been ready
But I knew in my heart that you had to go
It was your fate
Your blessing
Your destiny
Your doom
But you will always live
In my heart
For there will always be hope
