Your Last Flight

You were young and we were wild.
I remember my love for you.
We lived with the abandon of a child.
We touched but you never knew,
How much I loved; I lived for you.

We were young and you were free.
I was just another girl to see. 
I watched you fly and fearless ski.
Wanting you to notice me.
You never saw how much I knew.
How I wanted  to be just with you.

You flew higher and higher,
Soaring your way to the top.
Faster and further,
Until hitting a final stop.

Gone forever,
Faster than a single tear could drop.

I heard it on the news.
My eyes bled tears.
A blinding loss of light,
Frozen forever in your last flight.

You died on that mountain.
Flying higher than one should ever go.
Leaving us behind,
Staring at that crimson snow.

Why did your flame burn so bright,
Then go with no remaining light.
Why do I so silently scream?
Why do I still dream,
Of you in the dark night?

I remember your light.
I remember your touch.
I watched you soar. 
I loved you so much.

I watched you jump.
I watched you fall.

I remember the loss, the most of all.
