»Maybe I have to blame myself«
Did I shown her all the love I had?
Did I gave her all the respect she deserves?
Did I pull her up when she was down?
I doubt some of this.
Maybe I have to blame myself.
I don't remember buying her a christmas gift or spending a long summer day with her.
I can't recall very well if I ever told her the funniest joke or ask her to dance with me to a ballade song.
Did I bought her a ''Happy birthday'' card on her birthday or a ''Get well soon'' card when lying on hospital bed?
Did I do all this?
Am I sure?
Surely I can't recall.
I might have lost my memory.
Oh! yes maybe
But its useless to mind all this anyway.
Tears are no longer worthy enough.
Being sad will be a waste of time.
Question will remain absurd
She's no longer there to answer for herself.
She's gone.
But where to?
Did I gave her all the respect she deserves?
