<p>I'm crying a river full of my pilling tears,<br>I'm still enduring the pain,<br>Yet I don't know I'll endure it until when…<br>I think, maybe it will pass<br>Yet I also believe it can even be for a lifetime.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It's been a while,<br>But I'm still irritated,<br>This pain is broadly,<br>It still hurt after so much time<br>And it will still hurt again, and again!<br>I still remember the grief,<br>Entirely I miss you<br>I miss everyone I have lost,<br>Yet you are my greatest loss,<br>My extraordinary character.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It's awful Because this feeling will go on for quite a long time.<br>My mind always troubled,<br>With the emotion and memories playing repeat in my mentality.<br>Every so often their pictures just pops up in my mind at the most random times,<br>When laughter and excitement pays me a visit,<br>It just pops up in my head that I'm grieving.<br>I have lost greatly,<br>Yet I don't know until when shall I mourn!</p>

<p>Someday, I get tired,<br>To grieve for such a very long time,<br>Yet, I realize it is time to let go of the agony.<br>I still crave your love,<br>I still think about you,<br>I wish I can still share my dreams and longing with you.<br>Yet, your chair is empty, for you left too early.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I cry overtime I remember your kindness<br>I wonder if I will ever have someone to fill the hole in your heart,<br>You were so filled with love and kindness,<br>And I have experienced true love from you,<br>Yet I'm left here shuttered, for no one will give me the meaningful lessons anymore.<br>Yet, no one will ever come to close to being a phenomenal you.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It hard to focus, day or night<br>I forget myself often times, and not even remember who I'm i…<br>It was you who always enables me<br>You filled every blank space with answered in my empty sheet,<br>Somehow, you always knew how to cheer me up,<br>Yet you are gone now, and I'm left all myself.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>And I will never forget you,<br>I learn that no scars heal. However, I have gathered enough strength all these times,<br>And I have learned to live with a broken heart,<br>Life needs to go on</p>
