If Not Her, Her Memories Will Do

I felt I was lucky to meet her,

and meeting her was written in my fate.

My life was very cold before,

but after meeting her, everything changed.

The engine of my heart started again,

after a very long time of silence.

I was a prisoner of my own darkness,

and she brought light into my life.

I was like a ship without direction,

just moving without purpose.

She came and changed my path,

showing me how to live again.

But just when I learned to live,

she was no longer there.

As if she came only to redirect my life,

and to disappear like an angel.

I never told her, how much I loved her,

it was too big for words,

I could not explain it properly.

There were no words strong enough.

I was never afraid of being alone,

until she came into life and changed everything.

Now I feel I cannot live without her,

but she is not here anymore.

She left for her own reasons,

but I kept finding ways to stay.

Because for me, she was everything,

my favorite one, my special one, my twin soul.

Now she is not here,

still her memories are with me,

and that is how I am live saying,

If not her, her memories will do.
