You're Gone

I must declare, in the simplest of ways,

I will remember for the rest of my days

Your laugh, your scent, your face, your smile

For you I could, and would, run a mile.

I realise now that it was a mistake

To let you go and simply take

And not to give you all I could

And not to love you the way I should.

You bring out a smile on the darkest of days

Your smile was brighter than the sun’s rays,

Now you’re gone, you’re no longer around

I’m all alone and don’t hear the sound

Of both your laugh and your voice

But of course, your departure, wasn’t your choice
