Gone too soon

It was early days of our lives in this crazy world
When we were crawling and smiling together
Growing so fast like fast and furious 8
But you left me all alone.

So early in the morning when my eyes were not fully recovered from the long night dreams
Still asleep and couldn't even open my eyes widely all I could do was blink with blink blink
Gone too soon.

I was watching you monitoring me
Watching you mentoring me
Watching you growing so fast enjoying things out there that I couldn't even get a permit to taste and feel them
Gone too soon.

This happened so fast that you couldn't even say goodbye to me
Not even close to hold my hand even if you couldn't say a word
Gone too soon my cousin.

You were more than a cousin
More than a anything
I could call you my sister
All you made in this world was platform for me to follow on
But gone too soon.

I wish I was close enough to hold your hand tight so that you couldn't left me behind in this crazy world
But I wasn't,
Now you gone too soon.

But I am still thinking about you as you were my sister
Things were never the same after you left me wondering in the world of wonder as I was lost
Gone too soon.
