In Memory of You

In Memory Of You

Reminiscing on the days that passed,
Back to the time I saw you last,
Remembering what having you was like,
Until that day you lost your life.

I constantly call your name,
But it is to no avail,
I look around corners that wind and curve,
All in hopes of finding what’s not there.

Thinking back, days that have ever since passed,
Trying hard to remember when I saw you last,
Remembering the fun that you never seemed to lack,
Or when I would get in trouble with mom and you always had my back.

The rain and chill of that fateful unhappy day,
Surrounded everyone there,
But that was not the focus of the unhappiness and gloom that day.
It was the last day I saw you, but you are no longer here.
