Still missing you

I am not sure how people completely get over a loss or if it is even possible. Even on the best days when you are feeling great you are still feeling sad. Even in moments when your heart is light it only takes a moment before it is heavy again. Going and making the best of life of course is the best route, but no road easily traveled is worth it, although I am not sure what all this hardship is leading up to. But in the end I hope I am learning and becoming a better person, a person he would be proud of. I'm trying, learning, making mistakes and living. I am still heartbroken, but still breathing. I miss more you than I can imagine, putting it into words helps. So here is to you, I hate that inspiration had come to me in this form, but it is what it is.

Toothpick in your mouth
Guitar in your hand
Just some of the ways I remember
That very special man

Sun shining on the hiking trail
A boat out on the lake
Life can be stolen and hearts can be broken
But my memories you cannot take

I loved you like you were my sunshine
And my chocolate ice cream cone
I will keep you with me always
Our hearts are now your home

I had thought I had never felt true love
But it was here all along
This family love that flows so true
It has taught me to be strong

I love the life you gave to all of us
And living it is the greatest gift
Thinking of you I will always smile
My heart and soul you can lift

I will feel you when the breeze blows
And see your eyes in the waters blue
No need to cry these tears no more
Because forever with me I will keep you

Rip, love you always and forever
