I remember that night as if it were yesterday;

I was curled up on the floor, in complete disarray.

I had never lost before—at least, not this way,

not someone who touched my life every single day.

You were a guardian to me, a bond I’ll always treasure;

to have countless memories of you was truly a pleasure.

Bingo, Kit-Kats, Willy Wonka, and Twister—

playing Mario Kart with me and my sister.

I think of that night, tears pouring from my eyes,

then suddenly I felt your presence rise.

It was you, undoubtedly, wrapping yourself around me.

“It’s going to be okay,” you said—it was so comforting.

It was so real, incredibly bizarre—

gone, passed… yet here you are.

Relief set in immediately—you’re still here with me.

Now my guardian angel, forever you’ll always be.
