Twelve years later...

I would have thought that a decade later it would become easier..
But even after 12years, every cell in my being still sheds a tear.

The times when I was depressed, you wrapped me in your arms so tight...
Telling me with unspoken words that you had my back in every sorrow n fight.

And tonight was extra special when you ran down n bought me McDonald's n later tucked me in bed,
And with a kiss on my cheek n a smile, 'have a good night', you said.

Of all the memories I have of those wonderful days,
My all time favorite is this... The last time that I saw your beautiful smiling face.

Because of you I know that life is short n it'll pass like a breeze..
And all we really leave behind are memories...
