In Loving Memory

There is nothing more perfect than this silence

As I celebrate you

And the countless hours we spent talking without a single word

Your body is no longer mine to hold

Your skin is no longer mine to caress in your heartbreak or mine

Where is my best friend when I lost a lover of the soul?

Where is my better half when I lost the brightest star in my sky?

I guess they are where the rest of the legends lie

Far away and out or touch

But I can reach you with my smile and for now, my tears

Today I’ll drink to you

Tomorrow I will live for you

You never stopped but perhaps you were stronger than I

So today I will curl up and give in

Today I will miss you for the first time

Until the day someone misses me for the first time

I look forward to your kisses

I will dream of your smiles

Until then I drink to you

I breathe to you

I will live for you

I thank you

Until the day I no longer miss you.
