In my heart, there is a spot that is empty and open

yearning for you to return, which will never be.

Wishing for a moment where it’s your smile I see

and wondering at times: How have I been coping?

The moments when I think and dream of you

is something that hurts, but don’t mind to do.

The time that you were shared with the world,

will never be forgotten, you were a fighter so bold.

I will always love you and forever miss you

with your beauty so pure, perfect and true.
