Now you’re gone — my help, my hope,
the home I found when everything felt wrong.
But even now, when you’re not here,
your light still finds me through the fear.
You made me feel like something rare,
like I belonged when you were there.
You held me up before I hit the ground,
turned every silence into sound.
I trusted you more than anything,
you were the peace I hoped to call my own.
All I wanted was your side,
a place where all my doubts could hide.
You were my safe place,
even when our days didn’t align.
I never knew what you were thinking,
but you still stayed on my mind.
Whenever I was lost and hurting,
you always showed up right on time.
And when I felt myself collapsing,
you held me up and kept me fine.
There were days I felt like breaking,
and you held me without words.
You teased me just to see me smile,
your laughter always reached my heart.
And even though we stayed uncertain,
you were always something bright.
You’re not gone, just out of reach,
but you still feel close at night.
I trusted you more than anything,
you were the peace I hoped to call my own.
All I wanted was your side,
a place where all my doubts could hide.
You were my safe place,
even when our days didn’t align.
I never knew what you were thinking,
but you still stayed on my mind.
Whenever I was lost and hurting,
you always showed up right on time.
And when I felt myself collapsing,
you held me up and kept me fine.
I don’t know what we’re becoming,
but I know the way you made me feel.
And every time you showed up for me,
you made the blurry moments real.
The penguin sitting by my bed
still makes me think of you.
A tiny thing you never planned,
but somehow it still carries part of you.
