I Never Left

Robert Isaacs Chiwala

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
