Time will ease your pain

How many times have I heard that time will ease the pain .... the emptiness remain, the wounds heal, the sorrow lingers, the pain will be buried, only to resurface when memories are recollected.

My brother, how I miss not having you here with us ... I cannot fathom my living when you are missing from my life.

I missed you on my last trip back home, I know it was for selfish reasons.  No one to chauffeur me around town. 

You were the best, always too willing and eager to drive me any where I needed to go.  I hear echoes of my request and I see the nodding of your head with car keys in your hands and we were on our way.

Ivan, I realised you loved me too, oh how much you respected me.  I know you appreciated me and you were always my champion.

My dearest Ivan ....  how my heart still aches, my tears still flow, but, I know it will get better soon enough.  Time will ease the pain.

I love you Irven George Gomes @ Mohd Taufik.
