You Would Say Softly
I wish I could hear
your voice
one last time
“Hey”
you would say softly
“I love you”
you would quote
literature by heart
Tolstoy,
Steinbeck,
Vonnegut
and then
you would
quote something of mine
“because I know you by heart too”
you’d tell me
in that style you had,
you would say softly
«??????»
(“Prashai”)
one of our little
rushing secrets
“goodbye”
and
“forgive me”
in one phrase
but you never told me
these things
and then you were gone
because of my words
and did I ever
forgive myself?
