When He Is Gone

When he is gone

There will be sorrow

And regrets.

When he is gone

There will be questions

Without answers.

When he is gone

There will be chances no more

And opportunity gone.

When he is gone

The stories

Will go with him.

When he is gone

The laughter he has

Goes with him.

When he is gone

You cannot

Go to him.

When he is gone

It won’t matter

That you meant to.

When he is gone

Only the memories

You took time to make

Will remain.
