There were no farewellwords spoken,

I had no chance to say goodbye.

You were gone before I knew it, and

only God knows why.My heart still aches in sadness and tears

still secretly flow.I think of you in silence.

I often speak your name.Now all I have are

memories and your picture in a frame.

Everyday you are in my mind.

Our time together was far too short, but we

had very good times.Your memory is a treasure

which I will never let go.You’re always in my heart.

I miss you so much.
