Past tense
You left
No one asked you to leave
In fact, you were begged to stay
We sat for hours waiting for a blink or a movement
I know times were hard and you felt there wasn't any other way
But we were here
For you
Why did you decide that it was so over so soon?
You never know what you've got until it's gone
Just another dumb cliche
People will remember who you were and all the dumb jokes you would say
People will remember your smile
People will remember the way you walked, talked, and taught
Nobody will really know why
Nobody is here to speak on your behalf
We all have our quandries and questions to justify your moves
At no moment did anyone suspect you could see this through
But you did
We'll miss you
Reminisce you
Think about your message
