They make us cry, now that they are gone
Yet, make us smile, with each memory
Their still photo frames remind us of the
emptiness
But when we close our eyes, they are back to
life
Just close our eyes, and we can see them
Take a deep breath, and we can feel their
scent
Listen to the silence, and we can hear them
talk
Stretch out our arms, and we can touch them
They are here, somewhere around, not gone
Not forever
For, forever they are here, as long as we are
alive
Living in our hearts, instilled in our
memories
Reminding us, about the times that we’ve share
The good ones and the not so bad
Our hugs, our kisses, our fights and our
misses
That secret spot forever in our heart,
Yet the needless grudge that took us apart
“Time
is short”, they say from
the heavens of our heart
“Raise
your souls, open your arms, wake up.
Share
a meal, say a prayer, talk, reconcile, make up.
For
when one is gone, the rest will mourn,
left
with a needless scar that was so easy to heal,
with
just a hug, a tear, a sorry, a thank you,
that came from a true heart, which was real”
