You Are Gone.

You are gone.
I wasn't aware that you were leaving.
Was it suicide?
Did you decide it was time?
I wish I'd known.
I wish I could have been there.
You gave me music.
You gave me magic & a portal into another world.
I never really got the chance to thank you.
I never got the chance to let you know how much I love you.
How much I admire the life you chose.
How generous, kind, & selfless you were.
When everyone was ashamed of me,
It was only you who made me feel welcome.
But now you are gone.
Never to return.
I pray you went straight to Heaven
You were a Saint.
Giving your life & your love to those around you.
You chose to love us rather than make your own family.
I wish I could be what you were.
Selfless, holy, pure, good.
We miss you.
More than there are words.
But you are at peace.
The pain is gone & you can move.
You have control of your life again.
For that I am grateful.
I just wish I could have said good bye.
& thank you,
For the love, for the music, for your smiles.
For respecting my choices.
May you rest in the peace you deserve.
You are gone, but you are with me everywhere.
