Chicken Soup For The Soul- Redone

My Brilliant Friend

My dearest friend, you've left me,

Standing all alone.

My body's numb with sorrow,

I don't know my way home.

*

I'm lost, depressed and frightened,

For you're not here with me.

And somewhere deep inside my heart,

My friend, you'll always be.

*

I know you couldn't help it,

And you didn't want to go,

But nonetheless you left me,

Sad and all alone.

*

Although I have my parents,

And other friends so close,

I don't know why it is,

But I love you, friend, the most.

*

Your kindness unto others,

Has washed up onto me,

You helped me out when times were tough,

And you helped to make me see.

*

You have been so good to me,

And as I let you go,

I know you were a true friend,

And for that I love you so.

*

For as long as I can recognize,

You've helped me to be strong,

And given me the courage and faith,

To keep on moving on.

*

So with my sad and heavy heart,

This part comes to an end.

But I will not say goodbye,

You'll always be my friend.
