Empty spaces
Sometimes it feels like I have empty spaces,
where your hugs and smiles used to be.
The memories that linger don't fill them as well
as your presence and laughter did for me.
Our hearts were not made to hurt this much,
I am amazed how they continue to beat!
Through all the ache and swells in our throats,
Each day whispers, "Death will not defeat."
Your breath was stolen from you too soon,
and we struggle with feelings of regret,
So much we wanted to say to you,
and now quiet moments is all we get.
Counting all these empty spaces shows
Your life was not lived in vain.
So many hearts that have held your love,
are now learning to live through pain.
One day we will meet again,
God promises this suffering will cease.
Until that wonderful day, Justin,
May you rest in God's eternal Peace.
