One Single Tear Drop

One single tear drop

I can’t bring myself

To the point of letting go.

Of letting you go.

I’m afraid if I do

I will forget you

And remember you no more.

You have impacted my life

With memories

And with lessons

You taught me to live by.

Without what you have left me in charge of

I don’t know what I would do

Without the pattern, you laid for me.

One single teardrop

I hold back,

Because it’s all

That I have left

To remember you by.

In this one single, tear drop

Is the life we shared together.

The day God said he needed you

I knew I could not cry,

Because if I did

The life we made together

Over a course of time

Will no longer be apart of my life.

So that’s why,

I hold back

One single teardrop

Just to remember you by.

The way you talked.

The way you smiled.

And the way you smelled

Like fresh spring roses.

Oh! how I wish I could hold you close

And tell you how much I love you

Since I didn’t get the chance

While you were here.
