Thank You Steven

I miss you so
I wish you didn’t have to go
On my heart your death has left a permanent mark
And my life was lost to the dark
But then I remember……

I’m thankful to have known you while you were alive
Thankful to have been the one you loved
Grateful that you helped me experience the beauty
That comes from two people that are meant to be one

At night I end up lying awake
Feeling my heart agonisingly break
I always end up wondering why
And that often makes me cry
But then I remember……

I’m thankful for the things we shared
Thankful that for me you always cared
Grateful that you gave my life hope
Because you gave me a purpose and showed me that I was needed

There’s not one day where I don’t think of you
Or where I don’t wish I was with you
There are times when, for death I’d go any length
Because I feel I’ve been drained of all my strength
But then I remember……

I’m thankful that you were mine
Thankful that you had more faith in me than I had in myself
Grateful that even in death
You have promised to wait for me

Life without you physically here is hard
I wouldn’t expect it to be easy
But when I’m struggling I just have to remember
That you promised to wait for me
