It's been six months now,
and it still hurts to say your name.
I know some day we all have to take our final bow,
but without you it won't be the same.

I look up at a starry night,
and know that you're up there - happy.
No more pain, no more fright,
hopefully still just as classy.

And while I know you're gone,
I think it's time I started moving on.

You'll always have a special place in my heart,
tucked safely away.
I will never forget you, my support.
You're always here to stay.

I know that you cannot be replaced,
and you will always be near.
But I think I've found someone I can finally embrace.
Someone to be here.

It's strange as if I'm thinking ahead,
but I think I can laugh again.

You have taught me well,
though you are no longer here.
From what I can tell
you never left the bier.

I've learned that no one else can play your part.
There's only one you, who you play best.
You may as well start,
and become something you never would have guessed.

Picking up the pieces one by one
is the best thing you could have ever done.

"Are you with me after all
Why can't I hear you
Are you with me through it all
Then why can't I feel you
Stay with me, don't let me go
Because there's nothing left at all
Stay with me, don't let me go
Until the Ashes of Eden fall"
-Breaking Benjamin, "Ashes of Eden"
