I went to the river poem

I went to the river where you swam.
in the summertime, where your mostly happy day began,
and where you had a smile on your face, or so I am told,
and you before you went in the river,
you bathed in the glorious sun,
and then you disappeared, and you let the river do its work,
and you drowned as quickly as your day had begun,
as quickly as your day had begun with you waking up,
and blinking in the sun, waking up and blinking in the sun,
and yes, that quickly your life was over and done,
and I have not quite come to terms with it yet,
no, not yet, and I feel pain as I in my life have never done,
and today, I went to the river,
and I watched where you got carried away,
I watched where you gave your life away,
and the tears they welled in my eyes,
and no words would come, no words would come,
so, I, I threw some flowers into the water,
and I remembered the good times that we shared,
and I remembered you and your smile like the sun,
and I watched the river flow and my tears fell into it,
my tears fell into where you now permanently belong,
and you are still unfound, you are still unfound,
and never will I see you again,
and for years to come, my tears will mingle with the river,
as I remember you,
at the place where you gave your life to the river,
in the glorious sun, in the glorious sun.
