Subject: I haven't forgotten

Stacey

How can someone just disappear
As if she never even was?
How can unconceived dreams and plans
Just be snatched by another hand.

Where is she?

It?s been so long, and yet
My heart remembers?
The way she?d dance, almost gracelessly,
Somewhat off beat, singing slightly off key?
Oh, and that inviting, friendly smile,
Her humor, her gentle heart, her honesty?
And I remember how she would delight in chasing away
Someone who tried to overstay
His unwelcome. How she made me laugh!
There was that one late night she called for advice, because she was afraid
of this one who just wouldn?t go away.
Oh, and I remember she was loyal, I knew I could always depend on this
Daughter, sister, friend. My dear friend.

Where is she?

How can it be so much time has passed?
Over and over again I used to ask,
Why?
Why send her to us and just take her away?
What was the point of creating such beauty if she couldn?t stay?
Why did You let this happen to her, this loving, decent woman?
But now,
Now I marvel that my life was blessed with her.
What did I do to deserve
This friend to listen to my know-it-all ramblings
So patiently, as if I made sense?
This friend who made sure I never danced alone?

Where is she?

At night when I close my eyes
I can still see her face and all that dark brown hair.
In my dreams I?ve hugged her; I felt her, I smelled her,
I heard her voice. She called out to me.
I know it was her.

I know where she is.
She?s here; she?s safely hidden in my heart.
Forever.
