Has It Really Been Almost 10 Years? (Dedicated to Ashley)

Has it really,

Been almost 10 years?

I feel it like yesterday,

The pain the tears,

I miss you Ash,

Every single day,

Though I still feel you,

In every way,

I'm greatful for that,

It's what keeps me going,

I just wish there was,

A way to go beyond knowing,

To show to the others,

That you're still here,

So the skeptics can leave,

Stop trying to instill fear,

I feel you in the pressure,

My forehead is where,

It's how you still show me,

That you still care,

I miss your voice,

Your laugh, your smile,

We'll be together soon,

Well, in maybe a while,

You made me promise,

When you visited my dream,

I hope I've lived up to it,

That I haven't lost steam,

Live for both of us,

That was part of what you said,

So with head held high,

I keep going, though sometimes I dread,

When it's my time,

I want you to know,

That it's still to you,

That I want to go,

Into your arms,

Your loving embrace,

I hope God will grant us,

That with all of his grace,

I love you Ash,

That will always be true,

I hope I show you that,

Through all that I do,
