Seems like it was only yesterday or a lifetime ago that you've been gone. The struggle without you is real and the memories of our time together flood my days even after all this time. My love for you will never waiver, my memory will never fade, the pain is slow to subside and you will always be my greatest friend.
There aren't any words to describe how this feels, but these lyrics give a glimpse of what I have been feeling since you left:
"Afterimage"
Suddenly, you were gone
From all the lives you left your mark upon
I remember
How we talked and drank into the misty dawn
I hear the voices
We ran by the water on the wet summer lawn
I see the footprints
I remember
I feel the way you would
I feel the way you would
Tried to believe but you know it's no good
This is something that just can't be understood
I remember
The shouts of joy skiing fast through the woods
I hear the echoes
I learned your love for life,
I feel the way that you would
I feel your presence
I remember
I feel the way you would
This just can't be understood...
I love you Fran, you are still sorely missed.
