I’m peaking through the bandages, to see if I can handle it

This life without you here right now, trying so hard to understand how

with all this love and joy you brought, and all the stories and lessons you taught

that even though we knew we could, we promised that if ever life should

get too much

too tough

too hard to bear

we knew that in each other someone would always be there

to fight

to shoulder

to carry on

but my broken heart can’t take that you’re gone
