I ponder this point as I do each day,
Why you gave up, why you went away?
The girl I recall full of love so tender.
I have no response regarding your surrender.
The woman you became, I see her strong.
I ask myself: what did I do wrong?
The friendship we nurtured was supposed to last,
not come to a halt or end so fast.
I miss you enormously, after all of these years,
and your memory still brings on the tears.
Consider, my sister, I am only asking why
as to your surrender and yearning to die?
I will always love you I say with a sigh,
and I take this moment to say goodbye.
