Nute, I hope it was just a dream

But it bide in reality

That you are gone away

Far away from me

If I had known, 15^th November

Was the last moment to hear your voice

I would froze the time

Listen to your voice for all the time I could

The dawn on 2^nd December that ached my head

I am left with nothing but your memories

Nothing left to lose of me

You take everything with you, when you’re gone

Nute, realising yo will be there

It makes me want to go there

In heaven where we bids no farewell

Till then I’ll be here waiting for the day

(This poem is dedicated to my best friend, C.Lalpekkimi (Nuteii) who left us for her heavenly abode on 2^nd December, 2012)
