Hours passed, minutes gone
The seconds ticking on and on
You where here but now you're not
And I can't believe what I forgot

I remember the way you smiled at me,
I remember how you smelled,
I remember how you gave your love,
I remember how you yelled.

I remember your pain and I remember your happiness,
I remember your hopes and I remember your fears,
I remember your goods and I remember your bads,
I remember your protection... and I remember your tears.

Hours passed and minutes gone
Your memory living on and on
I took you for granted and now you're lost
I'll never forget what forgot

Now I remember sitting in class,
You threatening to beat someone's ass,
Never making A's and B's, only F's
You didn't care if you didn't pass
You didn't know it wouldn't last.

Now I remember giving you your name,
Accepting you as my sister, knowing that wouldn't change,
You became a part of my Fam in an unexplainable way,
You were living life as a game,
You knew you wouldn't be tamed.

Hours have passed and minutes have gone
Time has left you, moving on and on
The pain within my heart became locked
And so many things I never forgot

Like the way you called my name and when you called me Sissy,
Like the last day I saw you and you hugged and choked me,
Like the time we wasted away in class, not paying attention,
Like when I had to fill you in 'cause you were too busy sleepin' or skippin'.

Like the love we shared for our friends and family,
Like the way we always hoped to meet Shaggy,
Like the way I felt when I got to see you,
Like the way I feel now, still missing you.

Hours passed and minutes gone
Our friendship will last forever on
All our memories, I'll never forget them
I'll miss you forever, Kayla Felton.

I never dreamed the day would come,
Where I'd have to kiss you good bye.
I always knew I'd feel your presence,
Always right here by my side.

And though you're still there,
I can feel it,
You're gone.
Lost to a world so far away from me,
Still and dreaming,
Never to come home.

You're in a better place, they tell me.
No more suffering, no more pain.
But their words could be a different language,
For they do nothing to change…
How I feel.

Anger and hurt.
That you could leave me.
Sad and lost.
No direction to lead me.
Relief and hope.
No more guessing.
And that maybe, just maybe,
Things might get better… for me.

My goal is to forever remember you.
To not let the world forget the change that you made.
To learn, still, from you.
So that you're efforts were never if vain.

But I'll never be able to touch you again,
To hug or laugh. Or even cry.
I'll never see your beautiful face another time,
Only in my mind, never with my eyes.
And I realize how bad I miss you.
