I thought it’d last forever

A friend as true as you

Are hard to find

I thought it would last forever

Never did I stop and think

That one day you’ll not be there

 

You always had a kind word

For everyone

Your gentle spirit touched the world

You always thought of others before yourself

You were like an Angel of crystal

Strong yet fragile

 

Then one day you were gone to me

I searched but couldn’t find you

Why did you have to go so quickly?

You had so much more to live for

There were so much more to be done

To be said

 

Why?

Everything seems so unfinished

Stories stopped in midsentence

Questions left unanswered

Jokes left to be smiled at

It is like time has stopped

Yet no one but me has noticed

 

I can get by

I have to

I just pray that you know

How much your friendship and kindness

Meant and still means to me

 

I pray you know

How much I love you

How much we all love you

And how much

You’ll be missed

 

So, go now

Join the Angels

As I knew you one day would

I had just prayed for later

And not sooner

 

I pray you’re safe

I pray that you’re happy

I pray that you’re at peace

Where you are now

 

They better take good care of you up there

Walk over the horizon with your beloved

Play with my dear kitten I lost

She’s yours now

And she’ll take good care of you

 

So, I’m letting go

I’m giving you back to Heaven

Please, be safe

Please, be happy

Please, please…

 

God, how I wish you were still here

 

Rest in peace, my friend
