Unexpected Goodbye

Remember the way he laughed and talked
remember the way he danced and walked.
Remember the way he held you tight
and the way he'd never win a fight.
Remember the day when he gave you a kiss goodbye
but it wasn't sad, and you didn't cry
He said he'd be back, he was leaving for an hour
but that was when, your life turned sour.
Remember the way his mom talked on the phone
then you cried, not feeling alone.
You felt an angelic presence along with you
crying and wishing that it wasn't true.
Your boyfriend's mother said he'd died
you didn't say anything, just sat and cried.
He went out for groceries, never to return
leaving your eyes red, and your heart to burn.
Wishing the last day would never fade
remember the memories you both had made.
Remember the way you feel ripped in two?
that's because..this boy completed you.
Now he's gone, and you're to remain
crying and living your life in pain.
Remember the way he used to hold you
and whisper back, "I love you too"
His voice still lingers in the back of your mind
and somewhere there, your thoughts entwine.
This boy loves you with all of his heart,
he always will, and has since the start.
I could go on forever, about all of this heartbreak and pain
but no matter how much I write, his presence will still remain.
