Saudade

All our friends ask if I’ve moved on yet And maybe I have, but I still remember your birthday, Still keep photos of us in my gallery, Still remember the sound of your voice, Still read our conversations together, And my heart still skips a beat when I hear your name. My honest answer is “I miss you.”

All our friends ask why we can never be Just friends

Like we used to be. Maybe it’s because of your eyes

Those eyes that remind me of the person I once knew. I can’t look into eyes I once saw a future in And say “I see nothing.”

All our friends ask why I can’t forget you Even when I miss you more than the stars miss the sun. The truth is: Pain is the only thing I have left keeping me with you. Because pain is all you left me.

Maybe I might just never Fully and wholeheartedly recover from the chapter in my life that was you.

MichelleLo

I wish I could say how sorry I was about that day. The memory so vivid it feels just like yesterday.

The somber mood drowned the air

As I felt a twinge of heartbreak and despair.

I wish I could remember your last “Hello,” But all I remember is your smile that haunts me so.

I sat away afraid of the sickness That would take you away without forgiveness.

You pat the empty seat next to you

That I reluctantly moved quietly on to.

There’s so much that I wish I could say. I could have even hugged you instead of pushing you away.

I remember your smile so bright and kind, It made me forget your fate that had been assigned.

I hope you know that I was selfish, And that the guilt that has haunted me has been hellish.

I hope you know I still miss you so And I hope you know I love you so.

Some day I know we’ll meet again When my life too will come to an end.

You’ll be waiting with radish cakes

The dish you know I like more than steaks.

I’ll tell you how sorry I was for my actions that day And that I missed you more than words can even portray.

I’ll be waiting for that day when I can see your face, And I can’t wait to meet you again with a warm embrace.

MichelleLo
