• Eight years have gone by now,

    And I’m still wondering how.

    How have I made it this long,

    Knowing that you’re gone?

    How many times did I shed tears,

    Even over these eight years?



    I don’t understand why I’m not in pain,

    When I sit here and think of your name.

    You were a big part of my little life,

    In a world as cold as ice.

    You were a big bright light,

    Brightening up my darkest nights.



    I don’t understand why I feel lost,

    When you were taken with such a cost.

    What was more important to him,

    So important that he took you on a whim?

    Why did he put us in this mess,

    Living without the worlds best?



    Eight years have gone by,

    And I’m still wondering why.

    Once more you’re here,

    Whispering in my ear.

    Telling me not to be sad,

    But when the world is this bad?



    I’ll never know what you seen,

    In this world, oh so mean.

    But, I guess I’m not supposed to,

    Maybe I’m supposed to have faith in you.

    What you saw in this world so dark,

    Is what I never saw from the start.



    I’ll never know what you knew,

    You were one of the few.

    Living with love and pride,

    The truth, you never did hide.

    I still ask myself everyday,

    Why couldn’t you have stayed?



    Eight years have come and gone,

    It doesn’t feel, at all, that long.

    I miss you less as time flies,

    Yet I’ll never forget the good times.

    And eight years will come and go,

    And because of you, I will glow
