See You Again

Most days I can control my breakdowns. I can talk about Avery without the tears falling from my eyes. I can tell her story to strangers and remain strong. I'm at a different place than I was just a few months ago. I'm stronger. But there are times when something completely knocks me down.

I heard a song yesterday for the first time and the tears were instantly soaking my cheeks yet I couldn't bring myself to change the station. Every lyric weighed heavily on my heart. It brought me back to my memories of the day Avery left us and the day of her funeral; when I was forced to say goodbye. But at same time, I found comfort because I know I will see Avery again. She is my light, my stars, my tomorrow and one day we will be together forever. What a song.

See You Again-Carrie Underwood

Said goodbye, turned around
And you were gone, gone, gone
Faded into the setting sun,
Slipped away
But I won’t cry
Cause I know I’ll never be lonely
For you are the stars to me,
You are the light I follow

[Chorus:]
I’ll See you again, oh
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, oh
Till I see you again

I can hear those echoes in the wind at night
Calling me back in time
Back to you
In a place far away
Where the water meets the sky
The thought of it makes me smile
You are my tomorrow

[Chorus:]
I’ll See you again, oh
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, oh
Till I see you again

[Bridge:]
Sometimes I feel my heart is breaking
But I stay strong and I hold on cause I know
I’ll see you again, oh
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, yeah yeah

[Outro:]
I’ll See you again, oh
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, oh
Till I see you again
Till I see you again,
Till I see you again,
Said goodbye turned around
And you were gone, gone, gone.
