When the person is gone...

It's like the famous quote,
"You only realize you found it,
Once you lost it already."

Yesterday,
He approached and smile warmly at you,
You spoke for hours but still couldn't get enough,
He shared beautiful stories of what he went through,
And you told him: 'I feel it too, please be tough'.

Today,
He greeted you with warmth and affection,
You bought him presents just because he was there,
He held you tight and told you about life and realizations,
You were stunned in silence and just stared.

Tomorrow,
You will clutch him firmly and shake with fears,
He will embrace you to assure that nothing will happen,
Your heart will tell you he is lying so there will be tears,
He will shake his head and whisper, 'I will be gone by dawn'.

And when the person is gone,
You couldn't even cry no more,
Days and nights you felt so alone,
And you knew nothing else mattered anymore.
