reminder

where are you
quietly you left 
with every breath
you faded with time
left me with no chance 
to say a goodbye

is the world to blame
they say people change
but the world; still a hurricane
maybe my threshold rose
and hurried you to wane

what is this about?
not merely just a smile
but what it represents
long ago they asked 
what i wanted to be 
should have answered 'happy'

doesn't it scare you 
how time engulfs you
the more you live and see
the more you wish you didn't

oh the irony
i used to wish i never grew
so that i could be free and loose
well i still do
only now because 
i can't bear to imagine
how much more of you 
i'll lose

so here i shall remind you
smile more, capture more
for down the road you will see
you wouldn't do it anymore
