I could allow the grief to bury me alive.
Just let the loss of you crush whatever's left of me.
But you're not a memory, you're a light still shining.
Burning bright, and something I carry with me.
When I speak of you, I do so without remorse.
I beam with pride.
I speak of your exuberance.
I give them your energy.
I tell them you were art embodied.
Dancing avant-garde, bold and beautiful.
Where you went, sunshine followed.
I tell them that you made life musical.
Every smile, a song.
Every laugh, a celebration.
Your life, your light,
changed me in the greatest of ways.
All the love shared between us doesn't cease simply because you're not beside me.
You're within me.
My skin and bones.
My heart and soul.
The air I breathe.
The sun I stand beneath.
You are all around.
You are everything that made me.
