G O N E

he never told me that he was dying
that his life was ending
that soon
he wouldn't be around anymore
cause he was leaving
going to a place where he had booked a ticket for
a long time ago
i didn't know
how could i
all the things he did
and said
seemed normal
so i still got angry
had fights
said things i never should have said
because i didn't know
what if i had known
it would have been different
i know that
but why is it
that we don't truly see until
what we love
is gone
