Missing You

by AutuM Q. Loverin, age 17, from US

Tears, like melting sorrow
Slide slowly down my face
As I gaze upon your picture.
I don't know why, but somehow you've slipped away.
You didn't have to go.
There are so many things I want to ask you.
Could being here really have been that bad?
What went so wrong?
Why did you go?
Why didn't you tell us goodbye?
Will we ever meet again?
So many unanswered questions,
Will I ever get to ask you?
Everyone tried to find you,
Day and night we searched,
Until we found the note telling us you were leaving.
I wish you wouldn't have left.
We'll all miss you terribly,
Rest In Peace my dear friend.
