They say time heals all and there have been many situations where that is true in my life. Whether from a break up with someone I "loved" or a friend backstabbing me for something so careless, I've healed. Those struggles that consumed my thoughts seem like such little things in the grand scheme of life. But there is one thing that time has barely healed.

The loss of you.

I still remember the day you passed. It started out as a perfect day. The sun was out, I was pleasantly content, and it was just a better time in my life. Until I found out the news of the accident that took you from us. 

Months have passed and in those months, I have exhibited every single emotion in the book. I've been weepy. I've been angry. I've been lost. I've been peaceful.

See, every emotion in the book. I have cried at the most random moments because I see your picture pop up on Facebook or someone says your name in conversation. I miss you. You should be here. You should be in college at this moment. You should be on your way to living out your dream while stressing about grades, playing Xbox with your bros, just living your life. 

You left in such a quick moment. Boom, you were gone. 

I was so confused as to why God took you. One of the most wonderful people I have ever met. A person who would never mean to hurt anyone. One of the only guys who truly loved with his heart. Why couldn't he have taken someone who was mean hearted? Someone who was cruel to the world? 

I thought I could never get over those questions.

But truth be told, time is slowly healing me. Me and everyone else who was touched by your presence. We can still feel you here with us. Guiding us in different ways. Listening to songs you loved always warm my heart. Reminiscing the good memories we had and laughing at how goofy and wonderful you truly were.

We will never truly understand why you were taken from this world at a such young age. Why you couldn't be sitting with us around a bonfire during the summer or having a blast doing something so minuscule yet so effing fun. But we do know one thing.

We have a kick ass guardian angel who is watching over all of us as we move on with our lives. We may be in different states at different schools moving onto different paths, but we will never forget the time we had with you. We will always keep you with us, every place we go. 

"So fly on
Ride through
Maybe one day I'll fly next to you
Fly on, ride through
Maybe one day I can fly with you"
