Every time my eyes close,
your lifeless face flashes before me.
It’s so hard to believe you’re gone;
I wasn’t ready to let go.
I never had the chance to tell you all I had to say.
Everything that went left unspoken,
parts from me now in a whisper.
Goodbye, my friend.
May your unsettled heart be put to rest.
Selfishness wants you here with me,
but heaven is where you belong.
I cannot take back the pain in which you left,
but ecstasy awaits you now.
Goodbye, my friend, forever.
Not a day passes by
that I don’t think of you and all you have done for me.
I sometimes expect to see you,
as I pass by your final sleeping place.
But your presence has left us.
I can hear your murmur in the gentle breeze;
beckoning, calling softly to me.
Goodbye, my friend.
Don’t worry about me; I’ll be just fine.
Selfishness wants me to stay with you,
but heaven is where I belong.
I cannot take away the pain I left you in,
But rapture will soon come to you.
Goodbye, my friend, forever.
