Gone Never Forgotten

Another empty morning...
Another unanswered why...
I keep reaching through the silence
For someone who isn't there...

 

Losing someone never comes easy.
It tears a hole you cannot hide.
I woke up staring at the ceiling,
Asking why I wasn't by your side.

Could I have changed it?
Could I have known?
Could I have stopped you
From leaving us alone?

 

These questions circle like vultures,
But no answer ever comes.
Just another broken heartbeat,
Trying to understand what we've lost.

 

WHY YOU?
WHY NOW?
WHY SOMEONE LIKE YOU?

 

We scream these words into the dark,
But the dark won't tell the truth.

NEVER GONE!
NEVER FORGOTTEN!
FOREVER IN ETERNITY!

 

Death can take you from our arms,
BUT IT CAN'T TAKE YOUR MEMORY!

Every scar, every story,
Every piece you left behind,
WE'LL CARRY YOU INSIDE OUR HEARTS
UNTIL THE END OF TIME!

 

Days keep moving,
But part of us stays
Frozen inside that moment
When everything changed.

They tell us time heals,
But what does that mean
When you're still showing up
In every memory?

 

Maybe healing isn't forgetting.
Maybe letting go is a lie.
Maybe love means carrying someone
Long after they've said goodbye.

There are no answers.
No reason.
No way to make this right.

But as long as we remember

YOU NEVER REALLY DIE!

NEVER GONE!
NEVER FORGOTTEN!
FOREVER IN ETERNITY!

 

You may have left this world behind,
BUT YOU'RE STILL HERE WITH ME!

Every laugh, every moment,
Every word burned in our minds,
WE'LL CARRY YOU INSIDE OUR HEARTS
UNTIL THE END OF TIME!

 

We'll speak your name...
We'll tell your stories...
We'll remember who you were.

 

And when the world grows silent...
Your voice will still be heard.

YOU ARE MORE
THAN A NAME ON A STONE!

MORE THAN THE PAIN
OF LETTING YOU GO!

DEATH TOOK YOUR BODY—
BUT IT CAN'T TAKE YOUR SOUL!

 

NEVER GONE!
NEVER FORGOTTEN!
WE'LL FUCKING CARRY YOU HOME!

NEVER GONE!
NEVER FORGOTTEN!
FOREVER IN ETERNITY!

 

As long as one heart remembers,
YOUR LEGACY STILL BREATHES!

And someday, when our time comes,
And we cross into the unknown,
Maybe every soul we've lost
Will be waiting to lead us home.

 

Never gone...
Never forgotten...
Forever in eternity.

Your story doesn't end here.
We carry it with us.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

We have lost too many and for that they maybe gone but never forgotten.
