I have seen no other figure

And felt as dear to ensure

That I was so close

And it was my real choice

 

Your absence has created a void

And I wanted to avoid

But you were committed to the family cause

So I saw in you divinity pose

 

Even small things were noticed

And you enticed me

For doing it correctly 

I obeyed it willingly

 

My eyes get wet

When someone addresses you as late

Why did cruel things happen to us as fate?

I have never recovered from shock as yet

 

Whenever  I am alone in the room

There descends gloom

I am easily moved by sentiments

I feel no more sad that she is absent
