Goodbye My Friend

Believing is not seeing
Believing is knowing
It took me so long
To learn without showing

The day you left me
Will forever be engraved in my mind
For it is the day I thought
I’d leave everything behind

The day I’d try to forget you
Take your memory away
I was determined not to feel upset
As I was determined not to stay

I didn’t know how to deal
With such a huge loss
Your life so beautiful
Your love came without a cost

But I quickly learned forgetting
Was not the answer in this case
I would have to deal with this
This obstacle I would have to face

Dwelling on your death
Would be failing on the past
So instead I wrote out
Everything about you that would always last

I wrote about your smile,
And how it would shine so bright
I wrote about your laugh
And how we’d talk all night

I wrote about your kindness
And how you were always there for me
I wrote about our friendship
And about how other people couldn’t see

I wrote about how much I cared about you
And all the things I can no longer say
I wrote about how I wished you were here
I wished that there was no existence of that day

But most importantly I wrote about
That good times we had
About how you were in my life
Through good and bad

Those are what mean the most
The memories that we got to share
I am so blessed to have had you in my life
And to have you care

Maybe God took you away too soon
But he did give you a chance to be alive
You were able to walk this earth fairly
Even if you didn’t get to say goodbye

And when I think of your presence
Smiling will be the first thing I do
Because I cannot be saddened
Every time I think of you

Everyone here today loves you
We will all miss you
There will always be a place for you in our hearts
And we know were in yours too

So goodbye my dear friend
I will be sitting next to you, someday
Until then I will live with a part of you
Forever in my heart, forever and always
