Seven Years

You left too soon
I didn't even get to say goodbye to you
And now I'm left
With only the few pictures that remain
I should have taken more
When I had the time

You're not here
But can you hear me?
The call that shattered my world
Was the voice that called you home
And now I'm left to hurt
How can I face this world alone?

In my hear, there is an empty space with your name on it that will never again be filled. It is because you're gone, and you're not coming back. I miss you, like I've never missed anything before in my life. I wish you'd never left.

You should be here right now, sharing these last months with us. Choosing a beautiful dress, stressing over a boy, and gossiping about last weekend's party, or the newest couple in the ninth grade. You should have gotten your 18th birthday. You should have made it to the high school. You should have seen the teachers with their shaved heads. I wish you were still here.

Time was stolen from you, and I can't get it back. No matter how hard I try. And it's not fair. I miss you a lot.
