Analissa Range - Gone

I see you at the front of the room dressed in your finest

You look so peaceful with your family gathered around you

Your favorite flowers spread around the room and your favorite music plays

I remember you telling me it happens to everyone

And I remember thinking how do you prepare

How do you ready yourself for this moment

How do you prepare for the loss of a loved one

How do you ready yourself for the emotions

when you realize they’re really gone
