Because of you

How much more me would I be with you?

I've died many times and I often ask myself why

Memories of you creep into my mind

Or have they lived there this whole time and made a home?

I hope I can say I loved and do love---you

And mean it fully

I would have had my heart stop if it would mean

Yours would go on

I'm sorry

I was afraid of honesty, while you were there

Leaving life in front of us

And I wish I could, for the life of me

Remember the last conversation you and I had

But you were just gone and I'm still here

Left wondering why and mourning the days

We never spent together and what will

Never take place; growing up, getting closer, and sweating through summer days

I wonder what you would be doing now

Heart beating, lungs breathing, and full of life

Would you be next to me would I be more of a different me? Because of you
