Missing my mentor
Who gave me all
taken away by god
Too early my thought

Having conversations with him
Narrating the  jokes that he enjoyed
A  style that i employed
Every time he would have a whole hearted laugh

Continuing the same
In his absence
Me playing both  the roles
Inside my heart and acting out .

Talking with colleagues on a project
He ends up as the  main  subject
Regaling with laughter his encounters
Hours  spent on his many conquests'

Wish he was here
So that i don't have to play two roles.
Wish he was here
So that he did not exist in memory alone
Wish he was here
So that i could talk to him some more
Wish  he was here
So that i could apologize for my mistake
Wish he was here
So that i could thank him more
Wish he was here
So that i don't have to think of him .
Wish he was here
So that he was not a recall
Wish he was here
So that i never learnt the meaning of grief
Wish he was here
So that i can live in peace
Wish he was here
So that he was here
