[I'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears]
I was sitting on the couch and staring into space. Again.
[and if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
because your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone]
You were everywhere. Your scent – mint and lemon – hung in the air. Ever since you left me, I tried to clear the house of anything that would remind me of you. How could I throw out everything? Everything, everything reminded me of you.
[these wounds don't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase]
A photo frame had somehow found its way under the couch. I reached under and brought it out.
It was a photo of us. On our first fishing trip. Your arm was wrapped around me, and you were grinning your mega-watt smile that never failed to melt my heart. I stared at it. Suddenly a droplet hit the glassy surface. My vision of you became blurred. I hastily wiped away my tears and tucked the photo frame into the drawer.
[when you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
and I've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me]
I crumpled to the floor. Silently I screamed at you. I was angry. Why did you leave me? The tears were threatening to squeeze out again. This time I let them. I didn't care anyway.
[you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now I'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away
all of the sanity in me]
Who asked you to run across a busy street and get knocked down by a car? The scene of your death haunted me. I remembered standing on the opposite street, watching you run towards me. Watched you die, just a few meters away from me. I remembered the bood. So much blood. The screaming. The siren of the ambulances. Even as I stood there, I had a sinking feeling you would not make it. It was the one time I wished I had been wrong.
[when you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
and I've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me]
Even as I knelt beside you, cradling you in my arms, you were slipping away. You were moving too fast.
" I… love…" you tried to say something. Your voice was so strained. And you never finished your sentence. I bowed my head and sobbed.
[I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
but though you're still with me
I've been alone all along]
Sometimes, in my dreams, I hear you whisper the last word of your unfinished sentence.
" You."
