Now He’s Gone
He slipped away.
In this place of space and time,
I wonder where l belong.
I hold his hand and keep him close to me,
scared of how it’s going to be ...
He faded fast and left me here.
I ask myself these words of fear,
It’s ok to be so scared!
Are you just afraid of being alone,
coming back to our empty home.
I’m ready now to say goodbye,
1’II wipe our tears and wonder why ...
