I Still Miss You

I walked the length of the National COVID Memorial - from Vauxhall Bridge to Westminster Bridge

Words

By the river, names in red,
Evening moving overhead,
People pass and people stand,
Tracing letters with a hand.

Years go by and still we come,
Quiet now, the city hum,
Not numbers, not a chart,
Just the silence in the heart.

I still miss you.
I still miss you.
In the turning of the year,
I still wish that you were here.

We were careful, we were kind,
We believed in humankind,
Science, patience, holding on,
And then suddenly you’d gone.

I still miss you.
I still miss you.
By the river, by the wall,
I still think of you, that’s all.

Names in red beside the Thames,
Lights reflected, London dims,
All the lives we couldn’t save,
All the love we never gave.

I still miss you.
We did the maths.
We did our best.
I still miss you.
