The Death of you

By Kate Westlake

I have learnt so much because of the death of you

Lessons I will try to live by now

But I would rather know less and still be able to

Sit with you

To laugh with you

To talk with you

I know now to cherish those that we love for every moment that we share

And to share every moment that we cherish with those we love

I know now the value of a precious memory

and the memory of a precious value

I know now to love without question

and to question with love

To see things with compassion

To live a life without regret

These lessons I have learnt because of the death of you

and I will try to live by them.

But how I would trade these lessons

To have you back
