they say it takes a minute
to find a special person,
an hour to appreciate them.
a day to love them,
but then entire life
to forget them.

For Carrie

Always thinking back to January,
That phone call I dreaded the most,
Fell to my knees in grief,
Never cried till that day,
That dreadful day that hurts the most.
I couldn't believe that it was true,
Thought I was being tricked,
Thought it all to be a dream, but it wasn't.
Went to your casket, Hopeing you would pop up,
Saying gotcha, but you didn't, you laid there peaceful,
whiter than I knew you to be. I kept thinking it all
to be a dream, Sad part it wasn't a dream,
It's all too real to be even true,
Didn't want it to be true, but it was true.
Knowing I can't see your face.
Knowing I can't see your face,with that smile
I always loved seeing, Your calming voice,
that I'll never hear again, Yet I still have memories,
To keep you alive in my mind, Keeping the love I have for
you inside, Never forgetting those words you said to me,
That meant so much to me. Daring to dream and think of you,
to never forget the past we shared, the good and bad times,
even the worse times, Just knowing I shared all these times with you,
brings a smile to my face.
