At sea
That a wave had dragged you down
And crushed the force that was you

We thought that the black that engulfed you
Engulfed us as well
That the cold you drank
Swallowed us

We said we would not see you
Again at home
We gathered together and held each other
And talked of the time of you

We buried you
But kept the thought of you
We wrote letters to you
And each told their favourite memory of you

We talked of you
Everyone said ‘Hi’ in their own way
And smiled a lot
When your name was raised

Loss is just a deception
A temporary trick of the mind
You see, you never really lose anyone
They stay with you
And only go when you  
Can no longer remember
