The Door

 In the memory of Rafay Tariq (1994-2011). A friend who I will never forget.


                                                               Rafay Tariq (1994-2011)

It's strange how you were here yesterday
And now you're not here anymore
Did you go away so quick, so far away?
And didn't you think what I would do without you?
That was when I cried, cried for those times
When we were together, all those smiles
How can I forgot those moments, I collected them all
They're still in my head
And when I saw you in a dream
You were dressed in a robe of white
And guided by two angels
Yet you outshined them both and so did your smile
You came to me and spoke
Why do you cry for me when I'm already inside you?
If you look inside your heart you'll see a child
Smiling at you all the time,
Guiding you no matter where you are
We are seperated only by a door
The Exit Door
I have passed and so will you one day
And when you come, we'll have those jolly times again

  1. You are so good that I feel like I'm reading poetry by Roger Waters. Yeah!
    And some people do live inside us, and we carry parts of them with us, forever. :)
