Your voice I heard
just the other day.
Those few short words
that you had to say.
I know now
what I have to do.
I just can't let go
and I miss you too.
I have said
my bitter goodbyes.
But you aren't here
to hear my lonely cries.
Your smell
still lingers around.
Your whispers are
not making a sound.
I let you go
and be on your way.
Today you left me
after I asked you to stay.
