I reached out to touch you, as you grew weary
You gently took a hold of my hand
I knew that your journey here was ending
And that you were destined to travel
to a beautiful land
Even though your last moments were painful
you had a beautiful smile upon your face
I saw you glance across the room
to what seemed like an empty space
I said "I love you...see you later sweetheart"
and then you had a look in your eye
A sudden peace entered the room
My heart sank and I asked....
"Oh dear lord why?"
I sit here and think of you often
smiling at the jokes that we both once shared
You were a friend in a million
And I know that you really did care
We made a pact before you took your special journey
that neither of us would be sad or shed stray tears
We have a special understanding
that alleviated all of our fears
So for now until we meet again my friend
I'll cherish the special memories that I have inside
my love will be with you wherever you go
Even though I no longer walk by your side.
In loving memory of my dear friend
