I Can't Delete Your Number

I can't delete your number, even though you're gone.

I can't delete you as my follower or friend because it feels so wrong.

I can't remove your e-transfer or your email at all,

I can't imagine not seeing your name as I scroll & type along.

I know you want me happy, I know you love me from the other side,

But I can't let these small things go, when I see them there, you feel alive.

You feel alive & I remember the good times, the laughs, the tears,

You are alive in all I do, though I've been missing you for years

You live on in me when I remember, you make me kind, you guide my way,

I hear your voice guiding my choices, you still help me everyday.

You live on when I don't expect it, in how others walk or talk or smile.

You live on in all who loved you as they all go the extra mile

Your beauty, patience and memory is a contrast to a world quick to insult and fight

But when I see darkness surrounding others, I remember you told me to be the light

Miss you <3
