My friend,
I miss you, so very much
When will I be able to visit you again?
I haven't see you for a while
When will I hear from you again?
I haven't had any contact with you for a while
When will we embrace again?
I'm feeling lonely without you.
When will we speak again?
I miss the sound of your voice in my ear
I'm thinking of you as I look at the night sky
I thought of you this morning, too
When I sat outside, in this same spot
And watched the sun rise
I shed a few tears
I let them roll down my face
And wished you were there with me to wipe them from my face
But no matter
You're not here anymore
I'm getting up now and heading toward your place
The tears are building behind my eyes again as I walk down the sidewalk
Which is the same color as your house now
Grey
Stony grey
I walk through the gate and kneel
The tears burst from my eyes
"I'm sorry" I whisper
"I'm sorry I wasn't there often enough"
I lay these flowers by your grave
Alone with this note
I want to let you know...
You were my best friend
Mom once told me
"Marry your best friend"
I would've
But I never got the chance to tell you how much you mean to me
And as I walk away
I whisper these three words to you:
"I love you."
