You are gone far away, <br />away from this world of sorrows. <br />Leaving me alone behind to fight, <br />In the world of today and tomorrow. <br /> <br />If my tears could build a stairway, <br />and thoughts a memory lane, <br />I would walk right up to the heaven <br />to bring you home again.... <br /> <br />No farewell words were sung spoken <br />No time to bid good-bye.... <br />You were gone a long ago, <br />and only God knows why. <br /> <br />My heart's still active in sadness <br />and secret tears still flow. <br />What it meant to lose you, <br />No one can ever know.... <br /> <br />But now i know you want us <br />to mourn for you no more. <br />But to remember all the happy times <br />that we spent together. <br /> <br />Since you will never be forgotten, <br />I pledge to you today <br />a sacred place in my heart, <br />is where you'll ever stay.... <br /> <br />God knows why, with chilling touch <br />death grabs those whom we love so much. <br />And what now seems so strange and dim, <br />will all be clear when we meet 'Him'.<br /><br />Arijit Mandal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-are-long-a-way-gone/
