I see your face in mine, always have. I'm reminded of you everytime I look in a mirror, it makes it hard to move on when every mirror is a photograph of you. I feel like missing limbs, like half of me is gone.
I used to only do half the thinking, say half the phrases, I almost can't separate were I ended and you began. We were one person with two bodies.
Now everything I do feels so incomplete, the world is not as funny anymore. The war ended, but at what cost? I should rejoice but I can only feel your loss.
Even so, I'll go on. If not for me I'll do it for you. I'll live the dream we started together and maybe the cheer it spreads will also reach me. And also, people need cheer don't they? Especially now, we said that before.
And time passes for everyone, even for me. The pain dulls and I don't think about you all the time like I used to, I grew older and I can't see you in my face anymore.
If you were with me we'd be the same, but you will be forever young. Memories cannot age, but I have. I still don't like mirrors though, they make me remeber times when I could see you in my reflection. I see the wrinkles in my face and wish you lived to see them in yours too.
I have kids now, I named one after you.
