You Didn't Call...

You said you'd call me
But you didn't.
I've been waiting
For a couple weeks.

Did you forget about me?
I didn't forget about you.
I don't think it's possible.

Every day I go to school
Wondering if the disease
Stole you away.

I'm afraid that one day
I will have my best friend
And the next
You won't be there for me.

I know there is nothing
I can do to help.
But everyone
Needs a little company.

I never get any news from you.
Have you lost your voice?
Are you too frail to move?

I wish I could be with you
Holding your hand
Saying it'll be OK.

Now I am standing beside you
As you lay in your coffin
Cold and lifeless.

I think of the good times
But mostly of those moments
We will never have.

As I stand there watching
Them lowering the casket
I'm screaming out loud
But I cannot be heard.

A single tear rolls
Down my cheek.
I realize I never will
say good bye.
