When you went away,
My world turned dark and grey.
Everything in life,that was bright and full of light,
Suddenly seemed cold and black,like a winter night.
I now had no reason to smile,
Everything around me reminded me of you and all I could do was cry.
It occured to me that you were more a part of my life than I ever knew,
Now you were gone,and all I have are memories of you.
Our randon escapades and our word games,random dancing in the rain,
Remembering all this and looking at our old pictures just brought me more pain.
I knew you were unhappy everyday,
But I never thought that you would leave me so soon,if I could turn back time I would get you to stay.
You were more than ready to say goodbye,
If I ever told you that I was then it was a lie.
The truth is I could have dealt with a lot of things in life,
But losing you it felt like my heart was ripped out with the blade of a dull knife.
If anyone was to ask me if I had one wish what would it be,
That is an easy one,I would wish that you were still here with me.
Until that fateful day when we meet again,I will hold you close in my heart,
You were my best friend,that is where you have always been from the start.
