• I saw you sitting there
    Staring at a clear vast sky.
    I sat beside you and asked "Why?"
    You only smiled but I began to cry.

    You hid the pain for so long.
    You kept me company for a long time,
    You gave my little song a bit of rhyme,
    You made the stars go brighter as they shine.

    Why didn't tell me your body was already failing?
    Instead, you told me everything was okay.
    I trusted in you as I happily walked away.
    Only to fail to realize that this might be the last day.

    As you lie weak on the hospital bed,
    I held your pale and weak hand dearly.
    You said that you'll never leave me,
    But now, I'm crying so sadly.

    A few years have passed so quickly,
    It was a clear and beautiful April day,
    As I lay some flowers on your grave,
    After that, I sadly walk away.

    Remembering your laughing face on that same day,
    When you just stared up at the clear vast sky.
    The time when I asked you "Why?"
    I now hold back my tears as I try not to cry.
