i remember her

the song started to play,
a smile crossed my face,
has she come back today,

i can still remember that day,
sitting across her in that cafe,
tears rolling down her eyes,

it was her final goodbye,
a promise to meet some day,
i did not know what to say,

we had spent hours together,
yet not expressed to each other,
emotions we dared not accept,

i held her hand for a while,
then got up and went away,
never to see her face again,

yet, i pine for that day,
to hear the music play,
to feel her presence again,

now this song has stopped,
i remember to my dismay,
she has long passed away.
