The wind blows against my skin
I feel you
I look in the mirror
And see you
Everything you have taught me
All I have become
Because of you

My role model
My hero

I can still hear your voice
It echoes in the silence
If only you could see me today
How proud you would be

I long to see your smile
Hear you laugh
Memories of my childhood
Linger still

As the years go on,
And I grow older
Your image fades
Lost in time

Tears come every now and then
And I welcome them
They are not signs of weakness
Yet recovery

Your loss is just another scar
Of which I have many
You taught me to be strong
But even strength has its weaknesses
Every day I am reminded of the fact
That I never got to tell you how much you meant to me

But I know there is a reason for all of this suffering
I believe something good must come out of it
So all I can do is tell you that I miss you
Goodbye
