You will miss my passion
when I am gone, the same
passion that made you
feel awkward or challenged
your way not to make a fuss
and hold back from offence.

You will miss my opinions
so strong and the care about
the world that I have long had
in this journey from nothing
to nothing at this end where
there is no regret or sorrow.

You have seen all of me, the
very worst and the perfect best,
and you have witnessed the finding
of my way in the dark to the light
of who I am, and all this is part
of you that will still live when I pack
my bags ready for my final home.
