living while you're gone

Holly

From Holly, after losing my friend James in Oct. 2009

Sometimes I wonder why I'm still grieving over you
A year on Sunday, still working it all out
Hurting, wishing it wasn't true
Trying to understand why God took you away
Still sitting here crying
Thinking – Why? Why can’t my pain just cease
When I know that you’re with God
And therefore you’re in peace

I had a feeling I knew when it would be your time
Not knowing what to say, I just let you roll on by
For 48 hours this occupied my head
Unprepared for her office
The conversation I would dread

Numb, upset, not knowing what to do
I sit, I think, I cry, I blink
Wanting you here with me
When I know deep down God has you safe
So I should live on in spirit, smiles and faith
