🌿Wonder
Lost, Not Forgotten
Nanda Regine
I remember the freedom that used to dance along with your smileThe sweet cacophony of your laughter speeding through the airIn hopes of being heard by the starsI remember how you made many hearts explode with fireworksAs they rumbled like drums and celebrated your presenceIn hopes of reciprocating the joy you used to bringNow the exuberance swung heavily to the tune of lonely silenceThe playground as grim as your extended absenceAngry storms of your neglect fought against the fire in our heartsEliminating any elated noise, with the thunder of your silenceWe still feel the subtle taste of your character within youIt still hangs onto the ice of your shoulderIn hopes of not slipping awayCompletely
