Friends at Heart

by Timothy B   Feb 23, 2006


We all go through our lives
Not caring of how long it will be
Some of us live our lives
As if today were to be our last
Others simply waste their time

Some people live their own lives
Not caring about others
And when these people leave
Their absence is barely noticed

And there are also those around us
Who live for all those around them
People who care for others
And that will think about another
Before thinking for themselves

Unfortunately
We mostly know these people exist
After their time has passed
When we see all the tears
And hear all the cries
From the hearts left behind

When these people leave this world
Even if you have never met them
It is impossible to go on
Without feeling a sense of sadness
And sometimes
Impossible not to shed a tear

If you happen to be lucky enough
To have one or more of these friends
Cherish them with all your heart
Live every moment you live with them
As if it was going to be the last

Remember that nobody lives forever
But memories of one
Who is no longer here
Can forever stay alive
In the hearts of those left behind

    "And there are also those around us
    Who live for all those around them
    People who care for others
    And that will think about another

    This part makes me think about someone special. I thank God that I met you Tim, allthough we went through those days, I will never forget you and you will always be in my heart and my mind. The only bad thing that is happening right now and that I didn't tell you before is that I'm feeling that I'm loosing you and my other friend (Cemy) as my best friends. I know that it is all my fault. I try to get both of you back but I don't know what else to do anymore. I hope that I'm still in the heart of both of you.

    From the hearts left behind"
