it's been almost
eleven years
everyone's forgotten
but me
i remember every detail
like it was yesterday
it clings
in my thoughts
cobwebs in the rafters
would things be
different?
if you were


still



around
maybe everything does
happen for a
reason
we will never know
'cos we can't
rewind or undo
i guess i just want you to know
i miss you

When I was four years old my grandmother passed away from smoking-related causes. I cried every time someone brought it up until I was five or six.
