You Are Not Gone

for a friend

You are not gone from here

We just saw each other the other day

Standing at the corner, at the Shop N’Save

You are not gone from here

I passed you on the sidewalk

On the way to Unique, by the mango man

You are not gone from here

Running over Cricket Hill

There was someone just like you

You are not gone from here

I stopped by your door and read

The note, Out and about

You are not gone from here
