POEM: FOREVER GONE BY ADA RUCHI

FOREVER GONE by Ada RuChi

Someday I would go when I am very old

And you would see me no more

You would remember my laughter

My many smiles would flash before your face

You would hear my voice echoing through your heart

You would scream my name 

But I would not answer

You would look at my pictures

And memories would make you shiver 

You would perceive my scent but when you turn around

I won't be there

You would see those places where we usually visited

You would remember how I used to hold you there

You would cry for many days

You would wish you had held me more often

You would wish you had hugged me more dearly

And you would wish you had always told me the truth

You would remember the days when we worked and walked

You would wish you had the wheels of time in your hands

You would hope to meet me someday somewhere

You would write letters to me but I won't reply

You would call my phone but I won't answer

You would get angry and feel guilty

And then you would realize the truth

What is this truth?

That I am no more there for you

That I have traveled to a place you have never been to

That I am not so close though I lie so close

The truth is that "I am forever gone"

You would pray to see me in the best place beyond the sky 

And I would be smiling from where I am

Thinking about you and the good times we spent together.

EVERY TIME YOU MEET YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES, REMEMBER THIS POEM!!!
