Love is friendship set to music
A beautiful score played for us
A melody I will hold in my heart
And cherish for all eternity

Love is friendship on fire
A flame that burns so bright
That dances between two hearts
Intertwining them forever

Although it was for a brief moment
Our paths crossed for a reason
Syncing up for key moments
In each others' hopes and dreams

You came into my life
In the most unexpected way
The circumstances weren’t right
But we became friends

Over the years we grew closer
Helping each other through
The many twists and turns
All the good and the bad

We couldn’t see each other
As much as we wanted
Life got in the way too often
Forcing us to wait it out

But we spent each day talking
And we spent the time laughing
Making our days a little brighter
One conversation at a time

You were always there for me
When I needed you most
With comforting words
And a heart of gold

The love you had for me
Expanded to my daughter
And you accepted her as your own
When her father moved on

Now you have left this world
But you will never be forgotten
Your battle is finally over
You are free now, my love

You were the love of my life
The greatest friend I’ve ever known
The sweetest lover I’ve ever known
The strongest man I’ve ever known

As tears fall from my eyes
And sorrow fills my heart
I know this isn’t the end
And someday we will meet again

Until that day…
I will miss you so much
