Today

You are gone

I hear no voice

I read your words

A tear rolls down my cheek

As I remember the memories we shared

A few years later

You're still gone

I hear your voice

As I read the words

Your memory is still fresh in my mind

As I recall all of your quirks and stories and jokes

A few decades later

I see your face

Your voice is null

Your words hard copied

I'm in my rocking chair old and cold

While you stay forever the age I last knew you to be

A few moments later

Your face is gone

Your voice is gone

Your words are gone

Your memory is gone

I'm almost gone
