The colors in the sky that remind us of them

The not knowing what it will be like when we see them again

The stories and the laughter we shared as they were here


They always said not to worry when they left

They were just driving to their destination 

Where ever that may be


As the family all gathers around 

Wondering why it happened

Why death is even something that happens


The time of regret 

The time of sadness

If only that dang seatbelt was on 

Or if you just needed to have that one more beer 


Did you really was the question

But its not the question now 

We all have to remember what it was like to go through that horrible sadness

When I see that truck it reminds me of you 

Maybe if we kept you home we could have saved you 


Friends remember everything

As you are right next to them in that truck or right next to them at the bonfire

The party will never be the same again

The calmness and how boring it was before you got there


The how you loved sunsets 

How that truck you said would look pretty darn good in front of them 

You would just have to stop on the road just to take that picture you might never get the chance to again

 

But now you are the sunset

Everyone looks up and it reminds them of you 

They think of you, You looking down on us 


But if you were here you would be telling us 

That we should not be missing you by standing there

Instead to go out and hunt, miss me way up in that deer stand

That time is to precious and it aint going to wait 

Take every moment in and be grateful for everything

This piece was created because of people who have died in or around my life. I have taken feelings I have felt off of friends and feelings I see they are feeling and feelings I feel when this happens.
