so sepia so vague
faded memories
so sepia, so vague
so hard to recall, yet so hard to vacate
the void you left, our God did fill
but i wish often that you are with me still
there are times i forget the look of your face
i close my eyes to imagine your embrace
life without you starting to outweigh life with
my mind’s running out of room, out of space
somewhere along the way
i stopped asking why you had to go
somewhere over time
i accepted there were reasons id never know
would you be proud if you knew me now
what light would you shed on the issues around
what would you say about the boy i fancy
would i make you sad, mad or very happy
ive forgotten your voice, forgotten your touch
but my heart will always love, miss you very much
faded memories
so sepia, so vague
so hard to recall, yet so hard to vacate

Hmm, how come i noticed my name being mentioned out of the blue.. =P Yup anyway Pearls it's a really nice poem, so beautiful and yet so meloncholic. Pray that one fateful day, someone else will soon enter yr world and color it bright and beautiful once again. =)
