Before I went, I thought of you,
And what you mean to me.
I thought of all the things I'd miss,
The happy times, you see.
We shared memories, good and bad,
And when I wanted to hide,
You helped me fight the woes of life.
For you, I have much pride.
Please don't think I've left you,
To fight hardships on your own,
Because inside you heart,
A part of me has a home.
So feast in all good memories.
Let laughter soothe the pain.
I am still here with you,
Though the facts remain the same.
I want you to know I admire you,
Your strength, and wonderful ways.
And I want you to know I thought of you,
Before I went away.
