You were always there,
Always.
Then, one day, you weren't.
You had gone.
One day you were there,
The next you weren't.
You had gone.
I knew you had
As soon as I woke up
I felt it.
I could tell.
Something was different...
The change in the atmosphere
Was unmistakable.
No sadness.
No happiness.
No angriness.
Nothing.
It was so still.
No sound filled the air.
The nothingness stretched on and on...
You could have heard
A feather drop.
Nothing could shatter it.
It was like I was in a bubble
That would never pop.
Like I had been underwater
For too long.
I could have been the only person in the world
Because it was so silent.
No one had to tell me
That you were gone.
I just knew.
You were always there.
It's so strange not having you around.
I would talk to you
You would listen.
You would give me advice
I would heed it.
I just can't get used
To you not being here.
I don't know if the pain
Will ever fade.
I wish I could go away
Like you.
I'll always remember you,
You stood by my side,
You never let me down,
You were always there for me.
I'll always remember you,
I'll never forget you,
Simply because you were
Always there.
