Once Here And No Longer

It's been 10 years, 8 days and 192 hours since you left this world

But that was your way, 

packing up and leaving without a word

I'd trail after you, as a little girl

Calling out a list of goods to bring when you return. 

Sweets. Toys and things.

Random book about anything. 

The iPlay multilingual laptop (in pink)

Now looking back, I'd trade it all

For nothing, but your empty hands full of love 

For 10 years, 8 days and 192 hours more.
