Whispers...

12. You Are...

An unknown face,
Just a name someone treasures.
A friend for life,
Someone will always cherish.

I know you're not here,
But you should know,
Know that you're being missed by someone,
Someone you've said a sweet goodbye to...
And that someone is ME.

I wish I'd checked my messages a bit earlier...
Maybe I'd get to reach to you on time...
Before you'd sent me a formal farewell text...
Oh! Why did I lose a lovely friend of mine?

Your last text had a line -
"Don't forget to smile"
And if you'd seen me while reading it,
I was all a teary mess, for I knew that was going to be your last message to me...

I know our time together was really short,
But it was all sincere and friendly...
You might be counting your days,
But you've left as a special person to me.
A person dear to my heart...
A beautiful memory I'll always carry...

Today I thank the lord,
For helping me find you and
For the sweet friendship I was gifted by you;
For the lovely conversations that we'd had...

To me, you are...
An unknown face,
Just a name I'll treasure,
A friend for life,
I'll always cherish...
