A Privilege

It was a privilege to know you.

It was a privilege to grow beside you.

It was a privilege to look up to you.

However, now you are gone.

Gone too early before I have finished growing.

You shared your knowledge of life with me.

I looked up to you for guidance, and you were always there.

Now I feel alone, adrift without you.

But I give not up on life.

I go on with life with you only in my heart instead of also beside me.
