Were

Whenever the word ' were ' I use,
I feel like melancholy invading through
the darkness of the clouds above, I'm stunned,
Coz now I know you will never return.

You were brave.
You were caring.
You were rare.
You were daring.

I want to growl, I want to react.
Why not ' are ' but to use ' were '?
I am trying and trying to accept this fact
that you have gone and will never come back.

But still I hope that once you will come,
clearing off the darkness like a ray of sun
Yet I know deep within my heart,
that you have gone and will never return.

ALAS! YOU HAVE GONE AND WILL NEVER RETURN......
