I Love You and Goodbye

The loss of a loved one

When we were younger we were best friends,

We loved each other, together till the end.

But we were so young and innocent you see,

We didn't know how cruel life could be.

When I’m thinking of you and I look up above,

I know you’re still here because I feel our love.

When it’s my time I’ll get to join you,

But until then I’ll just have to push through.

I can’t think of the words to express how I feel,

When I wake I think you’re here but realize it’s not real.

I wish with all my heart it was me in your place,

When I close my eyes I can still see your face.

I know you’ll forever remain in the safety of my heart,

Even though I hate it that we were forced apart.

I love you more than you’ll ever know,

I hate it but I love you so I have to let you go.

Be in peace and be happy wherever you are placed,

Here’s one last kiss I send to you, plant it on your face.

I have to try to live without you in my life,

Until my eyes have their final close, I’ll push on and survive.

Now you have your dream baby, you can finally fly,

So until I see you again, this is…

I love you and goodbye.
