Can it be? Six hundred days ago today,
I took you for granted, thinking you'd be here,
thinking loving you is enough, forever and a day.
Never would the thought of you, gone in a flash,
a wintry day that lasts longer than a year.

Only the memories of you remain, your warmth,
your smile, the force of your personality,
the depth of your soul, the light of your wisdom.
Remembering you is the only joy and comfort
that nourished me through the darkest hours.

Slowly, with each second of every passing day,
the pain imperceptibly fades, replaced by an emptiness
that reflects the fullness of what you gave.
Though the wintry season is replaced by spring, and
summer is followed by falling leaves,

The memories of you remain, forever and a day.

The emptiness is a reminder of the love you inspired in me.

Do I fill it with imitation of you,
    just to rid the pain of missing you?
Do I hide it under a pretense of stoic solitude,
    just to keep the tears from bubbling out?

I would rather cherish the dull aching pain,
    and nurse it like a candle on the window sill,
because it is the light that points my way home.

I would sooner embrace it,
     like the silken fabric that is life itself, fragile and torn
embroidered with the golden threads that was the joy of you.

The joy of the emptiness of missing you
     is the flame that brands my soul with memories of you.

Though that wintry day denuded life's foliage of your green shoots
My heart can still feel the warmth of your smile
the light of your laughter
the joy of your spirit
of you.

Though waiting for that springtime of your return
may wear out a life or two, I hold steadfast
the hope of future memories with you
the love of being filled once more
with your warmth and joy,
with the sight of you,
worth the wait.

Mine can, too...definitely. 

This is beautiful, as always, Andrew bud.  It could just as easily have been written for a further-down-the-track Ennis, with Jack in mind, I do think.  Once some time had passed, and a lot of guilt had evaporated.

Your poems and prose always seem to work on many levels, and definitely are a balm to the hearts of we who love and miss Heath.  Thank you.   :ghug:

Has it been, almost two years?
Does time still have meaning?
When the first stabs of pain fade
And the continual ache persists
When the emptiness of missing you
Mixed with the joy of remembering
Time runs together from day to day
from the new Moon to the full
A New Year may seem like new
But it is the same old one, without you

I've had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why

And I can't take it
It wasn't fake it
It happened you passed by

Now you're gone
Now you're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back

Now you're gone
Now you're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere you're not coming back

The day, you, slipped away
Was the day, I found it won't the same
No
The day, you, slipped away
Was the day, I found it won't be the same
Oh

Na na
Na na na na na

700 Days or 23 Months
Whatever the measure to quantify the days gone empty without you
The quality of the time missing you remains the same

The few works you created
The limited roles you played
They stand as a legacy that future generations will recognize as sublime

What you inspired in men's souls
What you stirred in women's hearts
Are the footprints of your brief sojourn here

Wherever you are, Heath Andrew Ledger
May your paths be guided by angels
May you be surrounded by the warmth of love sent your way, always.
