Susan

I never thought that this would happen,
You seemed happy all along,
I really thought that you were okay,
But I couldn't have been more wrong,

Every time when I was over,
You hid you emotions behind a mask,
But really I should have known,
That knowing someone so amazing was just to good to last,

You always seemed so happy,
When you were slowly dying inside,
You never seemed depressed,
But I guess that it was just something you had to hide,

You'd always find a way,
To cheer me up when I was down,
And the whole time you were in pain,
But you never wore a frown,

You never showed any signs,
You never let anyone see you cry,
You kept it all bottled up inside,
Until you felt you had to die,

There are so many things,
That I wish I could say,
And I still wonder,
Why you chose to fade away,

There are still so many questions,
That I wish I could ask,
I'm told that it wouldn't help at all,
Because asking questions can't change the past,

I have to except that your not coming back,
And that it was your choice to die,
The one thing that I wish most of all,
It that I could've said good-bye!
