Often when I close my eyes
I see your lovely face
And your lively eyes.
A splash of colors
That shine different in light.
Yet there is more than that,
More than the surface.
A deep ocean lies behind this beautiful facade,
That awaits to be explored.
Only the kindest words dripped from your lips
Your voice so tender, such a blessing,
And It would be amiss to say
That it doesn't echo in my head.
You brought sunlight to the room
And dispelled any gloom.
Your laughter so contagious
And your smile, so precious.
How much sorrow it produced
Of having to let you go.
And how much it consoled me to know,
That all these cherished memories
Are branded in my soul.
