I've grown familiar to the void you left
For the first time, I'll get this off my chest
My questions are loaded and aimed at reality
Imagining different futures play out in a fantasy
I wish I got to know you
I wish that you could see
How far I have come and who I aim to be
That's a strange thing to ask of me
Loving a face from a faded memory
Your aging future wasn't meant to be
You couldn't see me turn 23
Angry at fate for taking you from me
A bystander at the scene of catastrophe
I wish I got to know you
I wish that you could see
How far I have come and who I aim to be
I wish
I wish
I wish
My mother is warrior
Marked by your death
She reminds us to be a warrior
May your presence never leave my breath
I never thought these
feelings could be expressed
If I hope to grow then this is for the best
May my grief fold its arms and be laid to rest
If i hope to grow then this is for the best
