It's been years
since I last saw you,
It's been years
since I last heard your voice,
It's been years
since you left me forever,
It's been years
since I talked to you,
for one last time.
If only I had known,
that you won't be here anymore.

If only I could have realized,
that I'd see your face for the last time.
We probably would've talked
for a longer time,
if I knew I was fated to say goodbye.

I could've thanked you,
for all the care you ever showed to me.
I could've thanked you,
for the littlest gestures of empathy.
I wish you would've known,
that they were never unnoticed.
I wish you would've known,
that they form the warmest aspect,
of my grieving memory.

My memory still reminds me,
of our final day together,
when we sat on a swing,
and applauded the pleasant weather.
We sat mesmerized, in the awe of clouds,
miles away from the heartbreaking truth,
that you'd soon be a part of them too.

I remember you being afraid,
that I'd find it...
