They say there is a reason.
They say time will heal
Neither time or reason
Will change the way we feel
Gone are the days we used to share
But in our hearts, you are always there
The gates of memories will never close
We miss you more than anybody knows
Love and miss you everyday
Till we meet AGAIN!
