What keeps me sane is knowing I have memories of us.
The pictures captured a glimpse,
but my heart captured everything like a film recorder.
I pray for you.
I sit and ask myself why.
Why couldn't I have been there?
Why wasn't I there to help you?
You are loved. You are missed.
Reach down and take my hand.
Take me to heaven with you.
When I think of you, my eyes rain.
I don't like to think you were in that much pain.
There were no clouds; such a wonderful day.
If only you kept on shining.
You gave me love
and touched my life.
It's all over now.
You no longer have to fight.
When I see those pictures of you smiling,
I remember the things you were hiding.
You didn't have to turn away.
We all wanted you to stay.
If only you could talk.
You usually didn't have any fear.
When I knew what you were doing,
I knew that I would stand by you
and help you through.
I look up the stars at night
to see which one is shining bright.
I wish I could see your smile.
I would travel those extra miles.
Can't get you out of my mind,
and it's supposed to get easier in time.
I love you, I miss you, I wish you were here.
Losing you was my greatest fear.
I love you Matt.

A Poem To Remember Boyfriend
I lost my boyfriend, Joseph, to a car accident on February 9, 2021, a day to my birthday. He was 25. I had a photo session for my birthday, which I planned sending to him on the 9th. At work...

You may be the one person on this planet who knows how I feel. In November, a guy I've worked with professed his feelings for me and we were inseparable from that point. The feelings were strong. Too strong at times. I tried to back out, thinking it was too good to be true. Thankfully he wouldn't let me. We celebrated my birthday on December 15 (it's actually the day before). He had been looking forward to my birthday since we started dating. He even invited a few friends. We saw each other on the 16th and spoke on the phone on the 17th. On the 18th I hadn't heard from him and when I sent a text he didn't reply. Later that evening, one of his friends that I met at the party told me about the accident. He was on life support for 9 days. My introduction to his family was in the hospital and during his services.
