Have you known someone this life-time
That was here and now is gone?
You remember easily their cheerful-laugh
And maybe took a walk with them at dawn
Does your heart ache for them sometimes?
When you have a moment all alone?
Your memories of time together
Maybe good conversations on the phone
When you look you can see their soulful smile
You remember a warm embrace
You can even recall the times you argued
And the tears streaming down their face
Do you recall how when you were with them,
That with you they were like no-other-friend?
You thought how lucky that-you-were
And wanted to have them with you till the end?
Take a close look right now in your life
And tell me who you'll really miss
It may be a friend you share a coffee with
Or a lover with whom you share a kiss
But in this life you'll meet so many
And in that many there will only be a few
Right now your mind may go to someone
Who truly loves and understands just you
You realize there's something unique about them
Where love and friendship go beyond
And if you knew one day they were here-no-more,
Possibly you'd feel like you just could not go on...
This love, this trust...
It's a closeness that cannot be described...
In truth your souls met and shared one heartbeat,
And today this keeps both of you alive...
