Igloos and snowflakes

As the rain falls against my face
The memories of you I cannot erase
For once upon a time things always seemed
Like it was perfect, the best kind of dream.

But as if a blink of an eye and it was gone
I am not sure how we all will go on.
The way you left us was so unfair
I am wondering why you didn't even care!

None of us knew you were hurting so much
I don't think you realized how many lives you touched.
I read your last words and tears filled my eyes.
And you know how much it takes for me to cry!

Your dad is devastated, your mom is a mess
She keeps wringing her hands and adjusting her dress.
The minister is here to start with his speech.
Cars line up the parking lot and spill out into the street.

The Smiths came with their five kids in tow
And as the last ones walk in the rain turns to snow.
I remember you and I outside catching flakes.
And playing in the igloo we built making snowcakes.

I wish I had the chance to say one more thing before you died.
To tell you I love you, or hold you while you cried.
To get back together and try one more time.
I realized too late how great it was that you were mine.

I'm glad you're no longer hurting but sad that you are gone.
Your memory will last even as we all go on.
I will miss you more and more each day
Saddened that I didn't get to say what I needed to say.
