You were there

You were there,
Every day,
Forever.
Reliably
By my side.
You were faithful,
Forgiving
And honest,
Reliably
Loving and kind.
You were there,
Every day,
Forever,
Making a whole
From two halves.
You were funny
And silly and playful,
You’d punctuate stories
With laughs.
You were there,
Every day,
Forever.
But life took its toll,
You grew old.
You were there,
But you’re gone now
Forever.
But your memory
Never grows cold.
