**My Adult Friend Bill Wheaton died late last year and I wrote this in memory for him. He was very loved, but he left us**
I wanted to know what it would be like to be somewhere else
I wanted to know what it would be like in someone else’s eyes
I was lonely
Pressure inside
I left with hope and pride
I had friends; I had family
But it was a decision of yes or no
I see it as my destiny
I decided I had to go
No one seems to care
It’s something I couldn’t bare
Awkward silences at the moment
Couldn’t handle to stare in this face anymore
With my hat tipped, I was gone, I was sent away
I may be gone, but I am still within all who cry
Look at the stars; you will see me looking back your way
I love all who were my best friends and even my enemies
I took a part of you with me
Yesterday’s are over
Even though the hurting is not
Nothing lasts forever
I most cherish what I’ve got
What I’ve got is you
You may think, I’m gone but the truth is,
I’m still here
With you
Dedicated to my adult friend Bill Wheaton (1939 - 2003)
