I remember those days as if they were yesterday,
your big ill eyes full of tears,
searching for a cruel truth inside mine,
that truth that you had known the whole time.
silent I would remain staring at you,
searching in yours all your faith,
crying inside for the sadness,
knowing that it was too late.
Then you would grab my hand,
and smile to show me your love,
and I would smile back to approve,
and both we promised to never let go.
I remember those moments as if they were minutes ago,
when you would touch my hair and close your eyes,
moments when all I wanted was to lie,
when I would sit next to you,
tell you that it was ok,
your cancer wont win, it will go away.
But both of us knew the cruel truth the whole time,
we hoped and we prayed but knew what would come,
and so that one day came by,
and forever you closed your big ill eyes.
Today I am here thinking of you,
wondering why you were gone.
I am here looking at the great big sky,
seeking my favorite star.
The wind in my hair, close to my ears,
the whisper of your voice,
"I will never let go"
