Untitled

With an aura of childhood around me

And a glow of innocence on your face

I look at you

With a broken heart

And tears in my eyes

And you stand right in front of me

A face filled with sparkle

Heart filled with love

And a smile filled with assurance

Of being right

I still remember your tiniest gesture

As you giggle

And every time you caught me before I fell

And pushed me when I froze

And helped me move forward

And said “Life is cruel, yet so beautiful”

Tears trickling down my cheeks

And heart filled with pain

I remembered the times

When you taught me how to walk

And every time you caught me before I fell

And even when I fell

You taught me to rise

And told me

Fall a hundred times and people will laugh at you

Succeed once and they will envy you

Fall and succeed anyways

As I see your beautiful face

With the same smile spread across

And the same heart full of love

But not saying anything

Where did you go?

Why did you forget to catch me before I fell?

Why did you leave?

For the beautiful memories in hand

And for the thoughts that will prevail

And reminiscences that will never die

Along with those words of wisdom

And those wishful lectures about life

And the glared filled expression when I screwed up

And the profound answers to my simple questions

I bid you farewell while I continue my sojourn

Because a farewell is necessary before we meet again
