Days had past after her death. Today was her funeral. The last time I'll see her. I'd rather not go, though, it would only kill me to see her again for one last time.

In this chapter of Her, I tried to capture the pain of lost. First is the letter, second is the reminiscing, and now is the time to feel the pain. The speaker caught her dead. That is painful. But meeting her for a very short moment and seeing her leave again is another story. Especially if you know that there will be no return. That is the last, and it hurts more because you had a small bit of hope, which diminished away as quickly as it grew.

The rhyme scheme is abc abc dd aeaeae. It's in Iambic Pentameter (Ten syllables in Iambic form).

Here's a verse-by-verse translation of the poem. Read it if you really want to. I just put it here for personal reference. For me, a good reader needs no translation to fully understand a poem :
It was morning, and its coldness passed through my window
like her hair when she was alive
I woke up from a deep sleep after a good cry
because I heard her voice
which made me remember the times when we went to the sunny beach,
always looking into her smile, which is as bright as the sun itself and as deep as the ocean

I tip-toed out the house
and saw her, but in the form of an angel, as if brought by dawn itself

I come close because I know that the angel was her, it was seen in the eyes
which is as clear and vivid like the goddess's, Iris
She held my hands, I want it to last longer, but the sun was already rising
she then flew up the sky as if she was floating
taking my tears with her as she went to Heaven
but she's still never coming back. Nothing's change, My tears will come back, and so is the pain. People just come and go.

Hope you liked it!
