You Were There Just Yesterday

I can't believe you're simply gone
You were there just yesterday
We made it through till the rise of dawn
But the life in you had to part its way

Beside your bed, I sat all night
And tamed myself from wanting to scream
Holding on to you so tight
Hoping for this to be only a dream

All I could do was stare at you
Craving for a comeback I knew was impossible
It was all so true, this goodbye to you
This painful fact that's hardly plausible

Your breaths got shallower and farther apart
with every minute that ticked away
pleading with heart, I believed I could thwart
the cruel reality that was heading my way

An explosion of tears drenched my face
As memories of you came out of the blue
Pangs of pain caused my heart to race
For I hated existence in a future without you

When it was time, your soul lingered
As if savoring the last minute
And I looked at you, like a child, bewildered
By the peaceful ascending of your graceful spirit

I already missed you a great crushing deal
Reluctantly realizing it'll always be this way
You're leaving me alone to a great ordeal
For without you my beloved I'm only astray.
