One year.
365 days.
8,760 hours.
525,600 minutes.
3.154e+7 seconds.
A life time I can never regain.
A friendship long passed,
But a person never forgotten.
One funeral
About 1,000,000 tears shed.
10,000 embraces.
5,345 times I said,
“I am okay.”
A person too young to lose.
A soul still with us in our hearts,
And a memory that lives on.
One year.
I never said goodbye.
I try so hard to stay strong.
I make the best of the life given to me without you.
I remember the memories we shared.
A life without you is a challenging one.
A year without you tested my limits,
And I am glad I can say, “I made it through.”

This is incredible. The heartbreak and pain are evident even through a screen, and your consistent use of statistics in the first two stanzas works well. The last line is a great show of the strength you went through in that one year. Keep writing!
