Let me remember you,
Let me see you in my mind,
Let me accept
That you are gone.
I know that we shall not speak again,
Yet I know there was still
So much left unsaid.
Even if I was given
Another chance to speak
I would not know
What to say
What to do.
How can I ever explain
That even when
I think about you now
There are still no words
That can fully explain
The impact you had
Upon my life.
Even though there are things left
To speak upon
There is now nothing left
That I can say,
That I can do.
How do I explain
That even though I knew
That you would soon be gone,
I did not seek
To find the words
That I could speak
Before you were gone.
Yet now that you are no longer here
I find it hard to say the words:
That would mean I have accepted
What has come to pass;
That I have embraced the reality
That you are gone
And that we shall never
Speak again.
