Ephemeral

The stars we used to see
The swings we used to play
The well, we used to meet
When it was getting late

The walks we used to take
The words I wanted to say
The look you gave to me
I wanted to take away

The laughs that we shared
And the torment that you hid
They were bittersweet
And nothing short of vivid

The friends we used to have
And the ones that you hated
They still speak of you
And the friendship we have created

The air, suddenly a bit colder
Without the warmth of your presence
Our home, suddenly quieter
Void of your essence

Memories are all I have
And your words is all I can take
Your promise is what I trust
As I await

The stars we used to see
The swings we used to play
The well, we used to meet
They're still here

But you're not

Author's Notes: Just a random idea that came to me and I decided to turn it into a short poem just for the sake of it. Besides, yesterday (May 3rd) was Tifa's birthday and I really wanted to write about something that was related to her. Hope you guys enjoyed it! PS. I just realized this is the first time I have written something in a year and a half! I'll be going back to my fics soon!
