Persevering Paige

I wonder what you’d say about the world

I wonder what you’d say about me

I wonder what you’d be like

If you were here with me

Would we drive around at midnight

Laughing hysterically

Or would we sit by the lake and chat just like old times

Would you still follow the same line of thinking

Or would you have changed your ways

I never will get to know

Just who you’d be today

I’m sure I’d love you as much

Really if not more

I’m sure you’d be there to lift me up

When the going gets tough

I tell myself you’re in a better place

I try to fully understand

And ask you for direction

I still need your helping hand

I’m trying to make sense of my life and purpose here

I’m trying to move forward

It’s hard without you here

I’m applying to some schools to move on and change my life

It’s just not happening at home

I need to finish my degree

And have the career I so vividly described

Some days drag on and others fly by

But in every one I think of you

Love is stronger than death

It will never erase you
