I was right there
When you thought I had left
I never left
I was engulfed in a form I couldn't dare ...
I wanted to press back a tear in your eyes
I wanted to tell you I will never leave ...
I could not imagine another person to love
As you claimed, I have left you ...(in tears)
I wanted to comfort you in my arms
I wanted to wipe away tears from your eyes
I wanted to plant an assuring kiss on your cheek
I wanted to whisper in your ear, "girl, you are so lucky"
I wanted to make you laugh
As I used to
But sadness and sorrow had become your friends
That they closed valves of your attention
I tried to hold you
But you were like mists
I tried to talk to you
But you would not react
I have blocked your way many times
But you kept passing through me
I wanted to stop you from worrying about me
And tell you I never left
I wanted to tell you that
I shall always love you
I shall always be by your side (no matter what)
That I will never leave you (alone)
I still wanted to be your guardian angel
I did not want to lose you
Though you thought you had lost me
I still wanted to protect you
I never left
But everything have completely changed
I feel helpless sometimes
That all I can do is seeing you
I never left
I am here always
Everything changed completely
But my love for you have never changed

it's too late for the dead
to write..
that's why what we do in life
is so important..
for these words have to be
woven into our actions and words
while alive..
(still
this could be comforting to read
for some)..
thanks for sharing
