In your absence, the world feels dim,
With memories of you, my eyes brim,
Our time was short, yet oh so dear,
Your presence, a light that’s now unclear.
You had a way, a gentle grace,
A smile that could light up any space,
Your soul, so pure, and heart so kind,
In your warm presence, solace I’d find.
Oh, how I wish we had more days,
To share our hopes, our laughter, our ways,
But fate had other plans in store,
And now, I ache, my heart is sore.
I hear your voice within my mind,
A soft, sweet melody, so intertwined,
The dreams we shared, now left unmet,
A bitter pill that’s hard to forget.
I promise you, dear Yvonne, in your rest,
To hold your memory to my chest,
To live the life you would have wanted for me,
And cherish every moment, forever and free.
Farewell, my friend, my sister, my own,
Though you’ve departed, your love has grown,
In every heartbeat, you’ll still be near,
For the bond we forged knows no frontier.
Rest Well, Nyathiwa, among the stars,
In your embrace, we’ll heal the scars,
Your legacy of love will never fade,
In our hearts, your light will forever cascade.
