A Heart Not Ready to Say Goodbye - Poem By Afsara Iqbal

(Not Ready to Let Go)

There is a truth I try to hide,
But it still hurts me deep inside.
The ones who once were always near,
Are not with me anymore.

We laughed together, we shared our days,
In simple, loving, caring ways.
I thought they would always stay,
I never knew they would walk away.

Now I stand with silent pain,
Calling their names again and again.
The hardest part for me to see,
Is that they are no longer here with me.

My heart was never ready to say goodbye,
And maybe that is why I still cry.
