I still see the face

I still see your face
When it glided out of sight
From that window
As the train pulled out
Of the station
And out of your life

I still see your face
Framed against the fading light
Of a March sunset
When you smiled
And waved goodbye
Knowing we'd not meet again

I still see your face
In the fading light
That last sunset
When we had a laugh
Before you left
At dawn

I still see your face
That summer eve'n
Only just in time
Including me
Those last meetings
Until the light enveloped you

I still see the faces
Of those gone from me
Who, longer or briefly,
Meant more to me
Than I realised.
Rest in peace
Until the Breaking of the Day
