A Day When I Was Here

I miss the soothing sound

Of our breathing

In a silent space

Where strife was always present

Yet we had each other

Not a day goes by

That I miss you by my side

I wish I was there

Wherever you are

So I can finally see

The only family

I ever once had

Regrets I do not have

Except for one

Except

For a simple

Short

"See you later"

Because I never got say

Those three words

Before I left the world

And joined our friends

Who are still waiting

For you to join us

But still live on

For our sake

Keep moving forward

Until you find

The one thing you were missing:

A family to call your own

A family you can protect

With your very life

Without any regrets

And follow the ones

Who gave us hope

The Phoenix

The Peacock

Follow them

Until you can no more

And have to join us

Where we will rest

A final time

In the light of the Heavens

Together

Then we can remember

A day when I was here
