As Your Soul Begins To Let Go

Tender is the heart as it beats one last time.
No more are the days that I can call you mine.
Fragile is the breath that minutes steal away.
All my treasured memories, will never be the same.

A lifetime ago it seems, we were best of friends.
A childhood of laughter, now forever ends.
Such frail mortality I witness in your eyes,
but I'm still not ready...I cannot say goodbye.

Words fail to convey the sorrows in my heart,
as I struggle to compose myself, my spirit falls apart.
It doesn't seem fair, nor does it seem right
your spark of life should fade,
while darkness dulls your brilliant light.

Forever will I miss you, until the day I die.
Your forgiveness I request, for regrets now piled high.
Hard lessons have been learned, my inactions make me cry...
for time that was wasted, when I could have been at your side.


Oh dear friend...


My very BEST friend those first years of life...
Though we grew apart as we wandered through this world
I never stopped loving you...I still dream of you,
and will carry you forever with me, in each and every sigh.

I know your spirit will continue on, and one day will reunite
somewhere on the other side, existing in pure light.
Watching over me perhaps... while I am left behind,
knowing that I love you and you're always on my mind.

Mere words fail me at this point in time.
No more can I write, there's nothing left to rhyme
other than to say I love you... I'll miss you...
In my heart you'll always shine,
and forevermore a part of you is... "mine".
Your essence... your memory...
Inside me still...

ALIVE.
