I will remember you forever..

Loosing a loved one leaves the biggest hole in your heart, but memories always stay..

Remember when we were little?

We used to play hide and seek

Your brothers would always find us

No matter where we would be.

 

We would all laugh, then start once again

Over and over, we'd go, up till the end

Oh how much fun that was

How we would laugh.

 

Those are the times I remember

Those days that will forever last

The moments of our secrets

Whispered in the dark night.

 

Under the covers we would stay

Our own little hide-a-way

You and I, it would always be

For like sisters we swore we were.

 

And as years passed by quickly

On this we forever swore

Nothing came between us

No one pulled us apart.

 

For no matter where we lived or how far

You were always in my heart

Times of sorrow, of pain, and hurt

You would always stand beside me.

 

No matter what it took

Then boyfriends came and went

Yet you stood true to yours

I got married, you wore bright pink.

 

Never knowing how you hated it

It was years later that you would speak

Oh how we laughed, the pictures we saw

Of you and I, and the memories that were stored.

 

Your life was not perfect, nor was mine as we aged

Talking on the phone we were, each and every day

About silly little tidbits, some minor some more

We found in each other the piece to hold our fall.

 

Children came and we would see in them

A little part of ourselves, their smile, eyes

Looks of long ago, it amazed us in every way

For to realize that what we once were.

 

Now stood our children to behave in the same way

Each thing they did, we would laugh and wink

And remark on how so alike they were

To you or I, just from those days, when we were young and gay.

 

I always thought you would be there for me

To listen, to talk, to laugh, or just to be

The one who would lift me, when I felt down

And if it was you instead, then I would be around.

 

But fate can be so cruel, for this I found

On the day I heard the news

The pictures still behind closed lids of tears

Of what was once my cousin who would loose.

 

Her family, her life, her hopes and dreams

Her once happy life she had grown to be

For on that fateful day, when all went away

She left us all alone.. And Lord we were so afraid!

 

Yet not only her did it come to pass

For with her she took something more

For in my heart she stood, since childhood

Now gone was a part that had since died.

 

My cousin, my sister, my heart, my life

And nothing will ever be the same

For where she stood, now a whole takes its place

And tears flow so gently...

 

Like a river for what was...

 

Like a torrent for what will never be again...

 

And I say each night to the stars so bright..

 

To you my love...

 

My cousin... My friend... 

 

I will remember you forever..

 

Till the very end...

Lovely memories of childhood on up;
a best friend, sisiter, cousin all wrapped into one.
I bet you do miss her very much!
A true loss to one's soul.

This poem is indeed sad, but it is a beautiful memorial to a loved one.
The memories you shared here create a warm feeling inside. I could
see that your life was changed for the better. To grow up with that
kind of love is a special gift.
