There was a day,
Much like today.
Only the sun was brighter,
'Cos you were there.
I would have talked to you,
A million times by now.
You would have said- Hang on, honey,
I'm here, don't worry, you carry on.
You were there for every new year,
And every mean little halloween.
Every sports day, birthday, christmas,
In a tattered coat and jeans.
I laughed a little louder those days,
I fell down often without a fear.
But now I catch my breath before it goes in,
To check for wisps of hurt in there.
Everybody seems to have moved on,
Even all rooms except the hall.
Where your picture hangs in the center,
Of a patchy, lavender wall.
But there's still some trace of you,
Lurking in my heart somewhere.
There,
Right where you always were.
And I know this for sure,
That you'll also,
Ever always be right there.
And this stupid heart,
It still waits at the doorstep.
Hoping that you would come by.
Saying- It was a bit rough in there.
But I am here,
Now I am fine.
I laugh and cry at the same time,
Guess only you could have done that to me.
As I sit alone and cold remembering now,
The one man who truly loved me.
