Petals of my favorite shades sit lifeless where you lie,
Shriveled from the coldness of the tears of the gray sky,
Trying to preserve your voice, your laughter, and your words,
I'd never thought I'd miss someone so badly that it hurts.
Took your presence for granted, I have myself to blame,
Now all that's left are memories, and pictures in a frame,
Wish I'd spent more time with you, held your fingers tight,
I'd kiss your cheeks more often, while you were still in sight.
But I won't let this poem be one that's filled with regrets,
For I know it won't bring you back with all the tears I shed,
Don't tell me to let go just yet, 'cause I still feel you're here,
As I was there to watch a part of my life disappear.
