On the day that you left
Suddenly, I was bereft
Of all I ever needed
Of all I would have heeded
I never seemed to know
That one day you would go
I stood on the bridge
On the brink
Connecting every thought
Every link
That shut my world
From yours
I'll miss you forever
Of course
I dearly wish
You'd never leave
I plead for what
Could never be
A father remaining
A brother retaining
A mother complaining
Of a sister unstaying
All these wishes
And much, much more
Lie beyond
What I have in store
So I stand on the bridge
All I do is wave
That's all I can do
But this moment, I will save
