One year

One year since I saw your beautiful face
One year since I saw you smile
One year since you called me back
Doesn't seem like it's been a while

It's been a year and I see your kids
Put on masks of bravery and walk on
Break apart in frozen fragments of time
Then pick up their pieces and go on

It's been a year and I see your parents
Moving further and further apart
Broken to the point of no repair
Still holding on to their heart

Missing you more than words can say
It's been a year and it seems like yesterday

27th August haunts me like no other day.
RIP Anu. I can still not believe you are gone. I doubt I ever will.
