Memories Lost

You've been gone for more than a year
Your voice on the phone is all I want to hear
I remember the times we had at home
The outings, seeing you felt nice and warm

Our times together ended all to soon
Shorter than the cycle of the moon
Every time I left I wonder if I knew
As you said, "Remember how much I love you"

Those times you took us on a shopping spree
Or stay at home with a cup of coffee
Every year when we'd say something new
You'd ask: "When I grow up, can I be just like you?"

And now you both are gone
My days have blurred into a continuous one
I only wish that I would've known
That after losing you, how much that hole has grown
