would you scream aloud
would you walk away
would you wail or tear
would you balk in fear
would you forget a little while later
would you keep things like they were
would you stare stoically at walls
would you relent how time just continues
would you reach out and try to grasp it all
would you reprimand and try to snap out of it
would you laugh at the silghtest mention
would you pause at the faintest thought
when i'm gone

i want to call to cry my problems out
i want to laugh at all the stupid antics i've tried
i want to feel that tight hug
i want to hear those reassuring words
i want to sit quietly under the stars
i want to walk hand in hand on the soft sand
i want to lean on that huge art work in the heat
i want to wipe off the sweat beads
i want to comfort those silent tears in the dark
i want to taste the euphoria of love

with you, for you, to you, from you


but you're gone
