Every second, every minute,
every hour of every day,
your all i can think of,
your always in my mind.
Why did you leave so soon?
Why couldnt you stay for a while?
I wish you were here today,
I wish i could tell you how i feel.
I'm always looking in the paper,
to see who died that day,
the only thing is,
I can only see your name.
Your names not always in there
but I remember it from that day,
everything that it said,
the date was September 25th.
We left you at the hospital,
we said goodbye to you,
it never crossed my mind,
that you wouldn't make it thorugh.
I was plnning on coming back,
I couldnt wait to see you again,
but the thing I didn't know,
was that you would soon be dead.
I remember sitting in the car
mom was driving home,
the page came so quick, so unexpected
I looked at her she looked at the pager,
she looked towards me
with tears in her eyes, she just said "yup"
I turned away looked up at the sky,
right then and there I started to cry.
I'll never understand,
why you left that day,
I wish I said what I had to,
but I thought I had another day.
You were so responive,
that I knew something was up,
how could I have known
you were saying goodbye?

I know how it feels to loose a friend. It's very hard to deal with.
A very sad but strong poem. I found only one error, stanza 6 line 1, you have plnning and I think it should say planning. That aside this is a wonderful poem. Great job on writing it!
Thank you for entering my contest, Good luck!
