I close my eyes,
listening to the voices of those I used to hold dear,
and everything feels normal for a moment.
I close my eyes
and you're still mine,
those voices still belong
to the family I would one day
call my own.
the laughs an all familiar trill of music,
the basses a rumble so warm and memorable.
I miss you most then,
surrounded by those you love.
how bitter sweet it is,
to hear those voices all together,
but to know they will never be mine again.
