All You Can Remember

When you lose someone suddenly
You think back to when you last saw them,
You try to remember the things you said,
You try to remember a hint of their imminent demise,
You wonder if you could have prevented their departure…

Ultimately you never remember,
Everything fades away with shock and time,
You try to desperately hold onto those final words,
So you can analyse them
For clues of what was to come…

All you can remember is
There were no plans made for future meetings,
All you can remember is that the inevitable
Could not be seen in the smile they wore,
All you can remember…

Is the death that was soon to come…
Seemed a million miles away…
