misha

it struck all of a sudden
it came out of nowhere
snatched away that sunshine
that sweetest ball of hair.

I believe the fault was mine
I forgot you were bound to go
your time will come before mine
you will have to leave me and go.

oh how I was afraid to see
places where you snuggled up
those blank places used to bite me
I thought that gap wont fill up.

I could feel you snuggle up against me
in the dark of night, in my bed
so many times you haunted me
I just could not wipe you out of my head.

its been a decade since you are gone
somehow my heart says to me
tonight you will not be gone
you will be in my dreams for me.
