72 months.
288 weeks.
2,195 days.
52,680 hours.
3,160,800 minutes.
189,648,000 seconds.

Since I've seen your face.
Since I've heard your voice.
Since you've touched my skin.
Since I've smelled you.
Since I've hugged you.
Since I've cried for you.

1 second.

Since you've crossed my mind.
Since I imagined your laugh.
Since I remembered your wisdom.
Since I heard that music.
Since I pictured your stone.
Since you touched my heart.

Time is inevitable.
Loss is inevitable.
Age is inevitable.
Life is inevitable.
Sickness is inevitable.
Weakness is inevitable.

The world moves on.
The leaves fall.
The wind blows.
The people shop.
The ocean turns.
The river bends.

I sleep alone.
I live in silence.
I work hard and long.
I have a routine.
I have not moved on.
I live in your memory.

I remember your words.
I remember your touch.
I remember your voice.
I remember my feelings.
I remember my stubbornness.
I remember my mistakes.

I should have left school.
I should have been there that night.
I should have told you how I felt.
I should have talked you through it.
I should have held your hand.
I should have been there for you.

I wish you were here.
I wish I was there.
I wish things were different.
I wish the world didn't move on.
I wish the leaves didn't fall.
I wish the wind didn't blow.

6 years has gone by.
6 years I have grown.
6 years without you.
6 years since, and I have been strong.
6 years since, and I have regrets.
6 years since, and I have lost my reason for living.
