We Thought We Lost You

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
