Sita smiles as i bring her a sandwich Two toasts with butter, ham, and cheese And yet sita smiles as if i've made her a 5 course meal Sita smiles as i make her a drink of my own recipe ‘Thank you pepe’ she says And brandishes a glass of mysterious content She hasn’t tasted it yet But still she smiles
Sita cheers for me as i run down the soccer field She’s waiting for me with a hug, even after games i don't play From the bench I can see her smile Sita is waiting in the car i've known my whole life ‘How was school’ she says Always with a smile
‘I'm coming home Sita’ It's been 2 years since i've seen her She doesn’t ask when She doesn't ask how She smiles
‘I can't come home Sita’ It's the day after the flight i couldn’t get on She doesn’t ask when i can She doesn’t ask but I tell her how I missed it I tell her i love her and will see her soon She smiles
It's been 3 years since i've seen her Sita tells me she has cancer I tell her she's the strongest person i know I love her She smiles
‘I promise i’ll fly out to new zealand to see you’ The last time we spoke She tells me she hates the food there I think about how i’ll make her a sandwich, like i used to I tell her it’ll be okay, she’ll be okay ‘I love you Sita, I promise I’ll see you soon’ She doesn’t ask when She doesn’t ask how Sita looks at me, the face I’ve known all my life And she smiles
Sita has sadly passed away, and I think she's taken a piece of me with her.
