Farewell

The words you whispered in my ear
when we sat together on Thursday evenings
are disappearing from my memory.

The picture of your constant smile,
which you always had on when I cried
is being torn and thrown away.

I thought and always said
that we'd always be there for each other,
so why is your support fading?

Maybe there is an inner voice
which suggests I move on
and not keep on thinking of the past.

But even though you're going away,
you left a part of you in me
so I'd never forget you.
