You smiled first

I lost a good friend today

 

 

You smiled first

then so did I

~

I said hello

and you said hi

 

 

Now you are gone

I sit and cry

~

You smiled first

I said goodbye

It is hard to grasp that those we love are only lent to us for a short time. It's a hard lesson to learn...

This is profound and eloquent, and so endearing to the memory of your friend. You should frame it and place it somewhere in your house where the sun shines upon it every day.

Take care, my friend!

I am sorry for your loss, Jack. While death is part of life, a friend's death sometimes hits us even harder than an older family member's death. Very emotive write. I wish you the strength to get through the grief. Lydi**
