You Were

a week, just one week
this time just last week
you were still here with me
laughing shouting, crying
bringing happiness
making me laugh
we fought, a lot
but i still loved you
and now you are not here
and i don't know what to do
you were a mother.
a aunt.
a daughter.
a worker.
a wife.
and you where my best friend
friends forever is what we said
i didn't know forever could come so soon
on that cloudy day of the month of may.
