Our Angel

Kayiena Rose Desjardins was our best friend. She was everything to us. Our breath of fresh air, our shoulder to cry on. To each of us, she was something different. If we could put her under one title, its 'Our Angel" because that's exactly what she is, an Angel. She never led on that she had troubles, she always hid it behind that 100 watt smile of hers. The thing was... she was always smiling. Even when it rained, she smiled. Never bothered her. The glass was always half full in her life, she always made it out to be like that.

You never realize a good thing until its gone, taken from you. Never to be seen again. That's when you realize, when the only good thing in your life, the light at the end of that dark tunnel is put out, taken away. Kayiena was our light, our musical note. No matter what anyone said to her, she never took it to heart. She never cared about what anyone said about her. She was a free spirit, and nothing could stop her.

She never blamed anyone, she never blamed herself. She was too young, so innocent, with so much ahead in her life. It's so hard to say goodbye, we shouldn't have to. It's too soon to say goodbye, we were supposed to graduate highschool together. Get our diplomas and throw our hats into the air. The peacekeeper, shy and sweet. With the noblest of hearts, and determination so fierce it could stop a bull in its tracks. She was beautiful, inside and out.

How are we supposed to breathe with our air taken away, to see when our eyes have been closed; speak, now that our voice has been taken away. She never asked for what she got. She never complained with what she had. She dealt, and she taught us to play with the cards we were given. It wasn't fair that the glue to our gang was ripped away. Now the pieces lay, waiting to be picked up again. And they never will, because our Angel is gone. Her wings have spread. Just like they were always meant to.

She's like a sunset, beautiful, peaceful, but doesn't stay long enough. She didn't stay with us long enough. She was supposed to be with us forever, our kids were supposed to be best friends. She didn't stay. She had to go. It was her time. But it shouldn't of been her time. Anyone else would of been good enough, so why did God have to take away the most beautiful thing in the world. He's greedy and selfish, and wanted her all to himself, and for that we hate him.

We need you, because we're crying, we need you by our side. Your voice and laughter haunts our ears and we want to call out to you, but you're not there. Because you're gone. And we miss you so much, what's left of our hearts yearn for you, they throb when the truth comes to us. That you're not coming back, we'll never see you, hear you, speak to you or feel you in our arms. If we could have one thing, it would be to see you again, to hug you. And say the things we never said to you before. To thank you. For being yourself. For always saying the right words to get us through our days.

Everything we do, reminds us of you. We miss you, and we want you back. There's so much to say, so much to do that we haven't yet. We will never get to though, you're gone. Gone from our lives, we can feel you though, your spirit remains with us. You will always have a piece of our hearts, no one can ever take that away from us. The wind that touches us, that's your laugh, the stars in the sky are your eyes watching us, and the sun... is your touch, constantly on our shoulder, you'll always be with us, just out of reach.
