XX

Can you see the sky
from where you are?
Do you see the moon?
I never got to say goodbye
You left all too soon
I wonder how things are
for you now
I hope you're okay
This world has
made me jaded
and I'm afraid your
image has faded
but in my heart
Your voice is clear
and I know through it all
You'll always be here
