I keep telling myself
it is just another winter without you
but it feels like so much more than that
this is my 18th winter without you
if the time you have been gone
was a person, they would have hit countless milestones
they could vote,
they could buy a lottery ticket,
or serve in the army
in all that time you have been gone
I have hit my own milestones
only some were shared with you
but sadly most without
and when i need you to be with me the most
I look to the shiniest star
and I say what i wish you could hear
tonight it is
\"this winter is more than just another one without you\"
