I saw you lying there,
in that cold white hospital gown,
I cried because I love you,
I cried because I knew.
I knew you would be taking your last breath,
And it was all just too soon,
I didn't want to let you know,
And then I heard you say so softly;
"I'm..going."
My heart stopped for a second,
but you deserved to be set free,
I knew there would always be apart of you,
in the greatest part of me.
I saw the grave with the casket-
so deep,
It hit me like a ton of bricks,
that you were never coming back.
And where do I go from here?
You were my best friend,
A mighty soul lived within you,
I'll never know someone so great again,
And I just want to pick up the phone.
I want to hear your voice again,
And tell you how much it meant,
For all the things you've done for me,
And all the time you've spent.
And as I look deep down,
I know it was for the best,
Eighty-Nine years of life,
You deserved to lay to rest.

Sara, I'm so sorry to have heard about this news, through a poem. I've been so freaking busy, that I wasn't able to call Amanda back who had probably called with the news. I'm sorry, and I will be calling you very soon. I hope you're doing as well as you can be.
I love you,
