REMEMBERED

I Was Not There

I was not there
When you walked out alone
I was not there
When the guilt and the sorrow
Broke a man's heart

I was not there
When the doorbell rang
I was not there
The day the birds fell silent

I was not there
To see them fold a flag
I was not there

Because
you
were
there

I am here
