You Were
You were perfect in a human way.
So not perfect at all but as perfect as it gets.
And, oh, how you'd make me laugh!
We'd laugh till we cried without reason.
You were always there
Until you weren't.
Until you were no longer there.
I don't remember why because I never knew at all.
You were sad and angry and lonely and
You never said a word
To me
About it.
I'd change that
If I could.
I'd ask you questions
And wait for all the answers.
Not just the pretty ones.
I'd listen better
Until you learned to speak without being
Asked to.
You were my laughter.
And now you're gone.
But I could change for you.
