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.
