You

I wish you were here to stand beside me.
All the things you’ve said and told,
To encourage and push me to the limit,
To carry me through the bright times and the dark.
You’ve taught me and caught me in the times of need,
The times we shared, you cared and you loved,
And all that reminds me of you now is when we talk through the angels
Who bring me messages from above.
And all I wish for now is to be with you in one more future…
