Apart

by Brittany
(Kentucky)

Gone to the touch,
but here in my heart.
Never thought I would
have to see us be apart.

There's not a day that passes,
That I wish you were here.
Standing beside me,
hugging me, keeping me near.

It was tough,
watching you go through
all the pain.
I never thought this would happen to you.

You went so young,
and unprepared.
We weren't ready to lose you,
we were all so scared.

Now we're all here,
gathered together.
Thinking about how
we will miss you forever.

You will always have
a special place in our hearts.
We will always love you
even though we are apart.
