The space you filled
(Joe Pereira)
The seasons change and the years will pass
And life may pull me far from you
Your laughter rings in the summer breeze
Your smile lives on in every star
Reminds me of who you are
The love you gave still fills my heart
And in my mind you’ll stay
A bond that never fades away
and guides me on my way
The space you filled is empty still
The air you breathed is laid to waste
The joy you gave no longer flows
A memory not to be erased
For though I walk this path alone
Without your voice, without your grace
The love you gave, the light you shone
Will always fill this empty space
Given time the sharpest edges blur
Of memories still crystal clear
But I know you’ll always be here
Your kindred spirit walks beside me still
and likely always will
you’re gone but never far away
A part of me every day
