Lit by Carlamaria Rutter 25th November 2013
A Friend ForeverThough it's only been a short while I've never had a friend like youBut soon you will be leaving meAnd I don't know what to doYour love and understandingHave brought me a new hopeI wish that I could keep you hereTied to me with a ropeWhy do you choose to leave me?I ask with confusion and painDon't let me go back to feeling aloneWhen will I see you again?The miles soon stretched between usWhat will happen to this bond?Will we reunite to findThat this special tie is gone?So many questions I haveMy heart filled with fearDreading you will leave meAnd never shed a tearUnlike this desperate achingIn my heart that won't let goWhich leads me now to tell youSomething you must knowThe friendship you have given meThe joy you bring my soulHas filled me with such strengthAnd love once unforetoldHow can it be so short?This time we've spent togetherI thought you would remain hereAnd love me 'til foreverSadly, wishful thinkingAs I now have come to seeBut remember please this thoughtWhen you think of meWe may soon be separatedBut I'll remember, just the sameForever in my heartIs where you will remainI wish that when you leaveWe'd remain the best of friendsYou'll be in my thoughts'Till I see you againHow can I say goodbye?No words, but just tears fallFrom my eyes and sobbing heartThat knows you after allThe hours spent togetherWill soon dwindle down to fewForcing me to let goAnd start this year anewWithout you here to talk toSearching for a friendly faceThat knows all too wellThey can never be replaced....I love u baby xxxxxxxx
