This Time Last Year

We lost you this time last year,

the months have slipped by so quickly,

I raise a glass and remember

 

the good times, images roll through my head

snapshots of Christmases and parties,

laughing and joking and hugs.

 

How has it been a year already?

This sad anniversary we’re marking

with Irish whiskey and music.

 

And sometimes when I hear a certain song

I forget for a moment and it’s like

you are still here with us.

 

One of my friends sent a joke,

and the punchline was your name,

I smiled sadly at the coincidence.
