I mourned for you for as long as I can remember

And even if I have said a thousand goodbyes

I still recognize traces of you in small corners 

-- in the waiting shed, in the convenience store,

in my old journal, in my family's memories


But I said what I meant

and I prayed my sincerest prayer 

of you finding the love that is yours to keep 

Be happy, and while you are, I will be, too
