My old friend (For M)

5 years ago this month I lost a very dear friend to a violent and sudden heart attack. I never had chance to say goodbye as it was so sudden.

 

My old friend

 

I saw your face today my old friend

You were smiling at me just like you used to

Your face as beautiful as ever my friend

Your smile as warm as it always was.

 

I saw your body today my old friend

You were standing just in front of me

Your body as wonderful as ever my friend

Your arms as strong as they always were

 

I heard your voice today my old friend

You were whispering in my ear just like you used to

Your voice a melody, your words soothing and gentle

Your accent smooth as it always was

 

I almost reached out to touch you my old friend

I could smell your cologne, feel it quicken my heart

I could almost feel your skin soft beneath my touch

I could almost taste your lips under mine

 

I blinked and you vanished again my old friend

You passed beyond my sight once again

My friend you went where I cannot follow you

You passed into my soul and my memory.

 

Please stay in my memory my old friend

Warm my heart just like you always did

Hold my shaking body just as you used to

Dry these tears I cry for you

 

I saw you today old friend

Maybe you came to say goodbye

Maybe to say “It’s alright really don’t worry”

Goodbye my old friend I love you.

This is a lovely tribute to your friend and it says alot about you that you still hold him so close to your heart. Your descriptions of him were wonderful. You did a good job Boneman, just like you always do.
